    do they make kit cars that are hybrids or electrics or have fancy safety features?

    because i was looking at a real fancy lotus for like six grand a few years ago, but it was just an ice manual. i’ve built those before, those are easy. i do not know all these fancy new cars with regenerative braking and shit.

        Yeah but I ain’t built an electric nor a hybrid and I ain’t programmed one neither. I built an ice engine before and those are simple. Fun too. I figure the programming is the hard part.

        I don’t want a car without the fancy safety features like checking your blind spot sensor or the backup camera or the dash cam or the adaptive cruise. For one, they lower your insurance rates.

      You can retrofit electric drivetrains to basically any car but it’s not cheap and takes a decent amount of research and expertise in fabrication
