Oh, well, one can certainly buy a real (not 3D printed) car at this price tag. Even a cheaper old car to rebuild together is a great old-school learning-and-bonding project. Though Lambo is a Lambo, it surely trumps a Corvette.

Hope the kid got to drive that beauty at his tender 11-years of age.

That budget notably doesn't include the time commitment, although the article does mention:

> The front brake air intake alone is said to have taken 52 hours to complete.

I wonder how that extrapolates to the whole project. Maybe that part took a long time and everything else was quick. But I kinda doubt it.

On the other other hand, spending quality time with your kids is good, and hopefully the kid was patient enough to learn that making really cool stuff sometimes take a long time.
