Sort of sad. But one less thing that needs doing. It'd be different if people were immortal, then I'd eventually find time to build a car. But since we're not immortal, better to spend life's allotment on the things you enjoy most.
Pictures below.
Camera note - these pictures were all taken with my SE k790a cell phone. It is 3.2Mpx so the quality is pretty good for a cell phone. You can click on the photos to open them up full size.

The one time I drove it...
Throttle cable was a hand-operated string.
Seat was a lawn chair.
No brakes.
Fuel was in windshield washer tank.
Electrical system was two switches (run & start).
Lined it up, pulled the throttle cable, popped the clutch and all hell broke loose.
Car did a one-foot wheelie.
Lawn chair tipped over.
I rolled into the back seat area.
Engine stalled.
Car rolled to a stop halfway down the... the... test area.
