shrader Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 $2 million? I can't imagine that would be enough to cover the time and materials needed to create that prototype. I'm willing to give anyone $12 if they can build be a fully functional car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
