DIY Aptera

Well, nearly.

This turned up on Ebay recently:

rocketcar1

from dvice.com

It’s a 125 mpg car that a Ford Efficiency expert made in his spare time. Looks like a cross between an Aptera and a kamikaze plane from WWII. Nice colour though.

I think several of the commenters missed various points. This isn’t about anyone designing a product for them, it’s about someone (an individual) building a product for themselves – routing around decades of industry heel-dragging in the process. We will see more of this.

An ode to Cognitive Surplus.

A celebration of the inventive backwaters of the human spirit... a celebration of people who would appear to have far too much time on their hands...


A celebration of laterality.


If you come they will build it.


By knowledge shall the spheres be filled.
