I don't get it. How does he make the spark plugs, the windshield wipers, fuel injectors, the oil filter, tires, etc. These things are very hard to build by hand. I can see him making the fenders or windows. But the small things?

if he was a genius, he'd find a way to utilize his tallents to make a fortune for himself. the bottom line is that there are many individuals who are capable of doing what he has done, only that not too many people are willing to spend the amount of time he has into such a project.

Einstein didn't make a fortune for himself.
neither did Galileo, Mozart, Van Gogh.

it's not all about money.
