Saw this on linked in, hadn't seen it here, think most of it has been covered but interesting that Chris's first 'car' was an '84 Ford Ranger! Makes sense!

Other interesting bits:

They have orders from Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Hey sodamo!

And also: "to date we've had 9.3 million different configurations created on the Slate Maker."

I did three of them, that was enough. I wonder how many people have done them and how many, and how interested they are?

That was new info, I think.

I wonder how many of those variations are just different slatelets on the dash lol.

As great as the maker is I do wish they had more options but priorities, they probably should start building the trucks :D
