Is there anything that a set of LEGO bricks can't create? In the last few months, we've seen a Camaro and a Mustang both built with nothing that wasn't manufactured by the LEGO corporation, and each of those creations featured a V8 engine and working transmission. While the entire process must be insanely difficult and time-consuming, it's the engine that truly separates these from mere toys. If an engine is really nothing more than an air pump, as some like to say, then here is a working V8 engine made entirely from LEGO parts. Following the build, it's easy to see how many transformations that this engine has gone through before the current pushrod version, which operates pretty well at an indicated 1,780 revolutions per minute. This is a fitting engine design, considering that it's slated to get dropped into a Dodge Challenger replica.

Nice but it's a piece of shit with no real-world applications. So a waste of time IMO.

So's Renegade, then.
It was built for the fun of building it StarBuzz, just as you play Renegade for the fun of playing it.
|
Understood.

It would be interesting to see how fuel efficient a lego car could be. I think lego cars could give some protection in collisions, as they'd just break away, and thus lessen the impact.
I don't think you could ever "total" the car, anyway. Any part you destroy, you could just rebuild. It would take away the need for body shops, as you could do it yourself, or let your kid do it.

I would be pretty well set for that. I've already got a Lego Driver license (from when I went to Legoland in Denmark as a kid.. really awesome)
At least I think it was Denmark.
yeah
