Well, I guess will hone in on my coding and welding skills and build a car from the ground up haha It's one thing to build a car that's near impossible for the average joe to wrench on but another all together to make it a crime. Tinkering is fun to me not tedious. What happened to the days of buying a surplus JEEP from the back of a comic book right along side of the seamonkeys and having it delivered in crates. I think thats a myth about the jeep but you get the idea.

Or the vacuum cleaner powered hovercraft! LOL!



But to the point, yes, as long as you include the words "safety concerns", it's almost a done deal with law makers.
