Driving such a vehicle is not entirely fun. My first was a Kaiser 1967 Jeep CJ-5, the short wheel base version, before they started the safety etc. updates with the CJ-7 (the -6 was a contemporary with of the -5 a longer wheel base). Note

The revenue model is selling custom codes, so you are not the product . The codes are. That, BTW, was the business model of Netword, and in those gold rush days it worked very well. Today, resources are so cheap it ought to work as well

There are many other good points being made in this subthread, the one I'd like to make is that if a driver is wearing a seat belt as he should, if he doesn't have an air bag and has a >= 35 mph collision, his head is going to

The real barrier is the knowledge, you don't need a relatively new CNC machine like that if you're just going to make a few for yourself. And old but high quality non-CNC machines are sufficient for that, and require a somewhat d
