It's certainly fun to drive. More than I hoped for. The build process was a lot less fun than I first believed. It was challenging, frustrating boring, and sometimes fun. I'm glad it's over, and I don't think I'd do it again soon.

Absolutely |

Hopefully, this will be more true in the coming months. |

Not true. If you have mechanical skills or can access them easily, you can build one of these cars for less than $25000, which is about the market value.

Very true. I was hardly speaking to my co-builder son when we started this. Now we are very close. Highly recommended. Also, my wife and her friends are very passionate about the project, and very supportive.

Also true |

Haven't got the figures, but if you drive it like I do, it's not gonna happen. But who cares! |

I never realised until now how much hard work and heartache is required, but it's been worth it! |
