Thats pretty impressive. Sometimes, though, those Lego guys scare me.

Hey I still build lego sets from time to time, there's nothing wrong with them! I still have legos from when I was like 5 years old.

The only thing you SHOULDN'T try to build with Legos...

...is a girlfriend, or a date for the prom. That's just scary.

They did a nice job on the car, however. Note that they DID choose a car that is rather "blocky" (har har) to start with; I'd like to see them build a Porsche 933 or McClaren F1, something with some curves to it.

No, I doubt its a photoshop. I've seen stuff like this millions of times from Lego fanatics. There is actually a good chance that they just built this onto frame, replacing the body panels and that is the reason for the real wheels and tires. Would that be killer if you could actually drive that thing?

I'm pretty sure this is the real think for sure, they build lifesize stuff all the time from legos, like lego island etc. I don't think it's photoshop or whatever.

i didn't say that its not possible to make it, i was just stating that those pictures appear to be photoshopped. you can't actually look at that at tell me you think those are real legos regardless if its possible. i have seen some pretty large and amazing things made of legos so i know it can be done.
