I think I know the answer . . . but we could dream right?

 

[pennylane]

Better question: Why can't cars be made out of Legos to begin with?

 

[Colt45]

you don't make money that way.

also a lot of parts just can't be modular, philosiphies of different manufacturers are too different

Yea though they are much more simple machines and are limited in available configurations compared to an automobile.

I had a professor in school who proclaimed that in 10 yrs, you'd be able to order a ford chassis, toyota engine, chevy body, ect when you buy your new car. Modular car...
