I'm speachless, absolutely incredible (although, I kept thinking to myself with the 20,000 hours he took making it, he could have probably raised enough funds in that time to buy a real ferrari), nonetheless, that was breathtaking how someone is so committed to the ferrari legacy

My question would be:
"Why didn't he just make it larger - like maybe 7-8 times larger?"
Then he could have sat in it and drove it away. It couldn't cost that much more than what he had to do with the smaller version and it may have been easier to make all those parts in full size.

I take back everything I may have ever said about anal retentive people. This guy takes the cake, the pie, the filling and the oven that baked them.

I would have just bought a model kit from my local toy shop for $30 and 20 minutes set up time

That is amazing. That guy isn't crazy, but he is different. That engine sounded pretty nice! I bet that little car would go like hell if someone could drive it
