LOL, Allen. I'd want one. Or Speed Racer's car.
I honestly think it is coming. (Choose from a list or DIY programs) And not that far away. Is all programing. Like making a webpage or a CNC program.
Or WYSIWYG programs. Choose from a list of "What You See Is What You Get" components.
Man, we live in exciting times.

"Moosylvania Statehood"
"The year was 1962, and Jay Ward, along with publicist Brandy, were set out on a coast-to-coast road trip from Hollywood to Washington D.C.. The plan was to help promote "The Bullwinkle Show" on NBC. To kick off this publicity stunt, Jay had bought a small island on the USA-Canadian coast. Only a few miles big, it was real enough to be called Moosylvania, from which Ward and Brandy traveled the country in a van covered with " Statehood for Moosylvania" propaganda posted everywhere. To sweeten the deal, Brady dressed up as Canadian Mountie, Dudley-Doright, while Jay dawned a wacky operatic admiral outfit. All across the nation they stopped into towns and promoted that right to make Moosylvania the 51st state of the USA. Signatures were collected along the way, while Ward and company whipped up the Moosylvanian manifesto, which stated such doctrines as:
State aid from the U.S. in the amount of eighteen billion dollars and four cents (They insist the government pay for the postage of its own check).
The chief spokesperson is Governor Bullwinkle Moose.
Moosylvania will present a daily program appealing to the public's love of audience participation shows, games of chance, and violence.
The government will be set up using a strict two-party system. One party will start at nine and the other at eleven thirty. Both will break at five a.m..
This is just a sampling of the entire drafted description that Jay wrote for the proposal. That fall Ward and Brandy drove up to the gate of the White House with a bundle of signatures and the proposal in hand, awaiting to see the president. The guards quickly acted in raising weapons to the two costumed men at the gate. When Jay asked to see president Kennedy, he was shouted at to "get out!" by the guard. On the radio an announce warned that the country would be going to war in 24 hours, on the eve of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The entire location was under high security.
Although the embarrassment passed for Jay Ward, he used the unique opportunity to gather up the press after the threat from Cuba was over. News coverage told of their road trip, and the real fact was presented to the viewers, "Why not let Moosylvania become a state?". The absurdity of the question sparked talk, and was able to accomplish what it was meant to...to promote the show for the fall season."

Ya, this is local news.

Their web site is here https://localmotors.com/AlexFi/the-3d-printed-car-aka-direct-digital-manufacturing/
Cool stuff.
I think the printed car is cool, but I wonder how they will get it passed all the vehicle regulations we have in this country so it can actually be sold to the public and driven on our roads?
We have a very long list of safety standards and regulation that every vehicle must meet and pass.
To heck with the car, I just found out I have a local fab place with a printer capable of printing out an entire bicycle designed for a motor down to a simple new left side sprocket cover with a tensioner and chain guard for jackshaft applications.
All the printer needs is a CAD file and right ingredients in the jets.
Nothing I will use any time in the near future but cool to know I could if I wanted to ;-}

That's a fascinating question, Dave. Wonder if it was more a proof of concept.
Would work awesome for just bodys, put on chassis like a kit car?
In school, I got to see some industrial 3D printing on a much, much smaller scale. It is really cool but, butt ugly finish. Like the pieces needed to be bondoed to smooth them out.
Still, kinda "Star Trek. The next, next generation" stuff.
Keeps making me think of Moore's Law.
Stuff like this, my cell phone is a better computer then my first computer and we are sitting here chatting from all over the globe.
Just amazes me

with an "El" on the front or an "O"at the end? (making fun of me here)
Har, lol that would work on most Latin based languages but on few of the eastern European languages. And none of the native American ones. I think
Alltime best ridiculous word "antidisestablishmentarianism" It not only proves that 2 wrongs don't make a right. It does prove that 3 lefts do.
(it really doesn't)

snicker. Made me spit.
(ON MY LAST LAPTOP!!!) I keep killing them by laughing beer and coffee thru my mouth and nose, laughing. (beer OR coffee"?)
Is where the word "Snork" comes from. Sounds just like that only bad. snork, Europeans and folks whose first language isn't English, often email me and ask, "what is this "snork and what does it mean?"
So no one say any thing remotely, if at all funny!
LOL Ludwig
lost in translation or separated by a similar language?
Wait, do you think this could negatively impact my run for emperor in 2016?
(LOL @ "nerdling" my new favorite word. It was close but beat "Thwack")
