Homeless man builds his own car — out of junk

"Nobody believed, everybody laughed at me," Souza told Globo.com. "I was very humbled by this, but I won and I built my car alone with my own hands. "

All I can say is, "I'm amazed!"

He's ambition and some skills. I wish we could hire him at my work, we could use someone like that.

This really goes to show what we can accomplish if we have the drive and the tenacity to go after what we want.

I'd be amazed if he were north american. But the rest of the world.. sure, they've retained some of their survival skills.
He would have been beaten down by the dmv if he tried to do that here. (My dad and I tried to get a vehicle we built certified for street use here and not only were there tons of hoops to jump through, they wanted a lot of money, which discounts the homeless!)
