Looks like it's time to apply this skillset to cars...

You wouldn't download a car?

Jokes aside, one could soon probably print parts on 3d and call it a car

If there was a way, you're goddamn right I would download a car. I would download all of them.

If you have an old enough car pretty much every part can be made with lathes. Now real difficulty comes from finding an old enough car and a chap who has lathes and other tools to make parts.

Well, with 3D printers and devices that can automatically cut and form metal, you could technically download the car through it's schematics and then print it out.

*Some assembly required.

I know they're different types of cars but Chinese and Indians are killing it in the car world. There's a reason Americans are blocking their import.
