You'd build one and drive it. That has value as you will have something useful and you will learn things as you do it.

You would not build one that doesn't function in any useful way and you wouldn't use completely obsolete stuff to do it.

That would be like making a car out of plaster that uses a hot bulb engine.

    I promise you, auto enthusiasts have built weirder stuff just because it'd be funny. You have a sense of humor don't you?

    Clearly, I do not. You got me. Am dead.

    However, the effort that goes into a good fuckery should correlate the the quality of it.

    This is at the level of , ha that a funny goof. If this were done on a bored Sunday afternoon, I'd say "ha ha this is funny". Since I don't have a sense of humor, there is not even a single ha evoked.
