Physicist 3D-printed a Lamborghini because his son liked one (2019)
Hell yes. I mean it is super cliche but I hope that when my kids are older that I can restore a vintage car with them so we can do Sunday drives. This kicks it up several orders of magnitude.<p>As an off topic aside, I find working on vehicles highly therapeutic. I finally got into motorcycles several years ago and learned that motorcycle mechanics, compared to car mechanics, are few and far between are usually very busy. If you buy a used bike and don’t want to take it to the dealer for service, you better learn to wrench. Let me tell you, it has been a hugely empowering experience. Unlike modern cars, even modern bikes are relatively easy to work on. I got ones with carburetors, so the most sophisticated computer on them is the LCD clock&#x2F;trip meter. My second bike came to me not running for $1300 plus a bit for delivery. I still can’t believe that with some hand tools, time, and a shop manual I not only got it working, but improved its performance. I didn’t grow up around any kind of vehicles so learning to do this is a personal achievement for me. Yesterday evening I went for a long random ride and it was really something when the machine you had on the floor of your garage in pieces not that long ago now runs just right as you literally drive into the sunset. Motorcycles really helped me deal with the weight of the past year and just the weight of life in general. They aren’t cheaper than therapy but they definitely are more fun.
