If you are going to hand build a car and have that much skill, why make it look like someone else's?

Because he didn't have enough imagination to think of something on his own. He even used measurements from a real Lambo to get his right. He is definately very skilled, but to purposely build it in an area where you have to destroy it to get it out? Zero common sense....

I would, if the only other alternative was trying to do a build *that* detailed outside.....
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

More like Genius! :o  This guy not only builds himself an awesome car, which will bring mucho fun and pride, but, has a job any time he needs it, and (the real reason) gets more garage space. [bow_down]

and a bit of poor planning,
This guys been planning the garage for a while. He had 10 yrs to figure out how to get it out. From the look of the art work he does it, probably took him 5 min. back in 1998. He's had the excavator guy on speed dial for the last 12 months just for the day he finished.  ;D

He has more imagination than most of us can begin to appreciate. Copied the looks of the Lamborghini but the engineering and fabricating that went into making it took some serious thinking and creativity.

I'd like to see him tackle a bike project!  Awesome!

Ever see Ghost Dog?

It's an existential thing to do. Build a sail boat on the roof of a NYC tenament or build a Lambo in your basement. Same differencene.
