Future Auto Manufactuer...

GSAM · 08-20-2007, 02:39 PM

Hi, my name is Deon Christopher Smith. I am currently a Senior at Westlake High School in Atlanta GA. When I was in middle school, I had attemped to make a computer game similar to RockStars' Grant Theft Auto II. During that process, I had created a concept truck. Yet, as time went on...many of my classmates recommended i try to turn the concept into a actual vehicle.
Thus, Graviline-Smith Automobile Manufactuers (GSAM) was created. I have been working on Codname: DragonHeart for over 5 years now, and I am on my 8th attempt. Reason being is that I am continuing to update every year to keep up with So far... my concepts are still just on paper, but Tyler, My Brother Dustyn Kuffler, And my Cousin Jeremy Angelos Taylor; who are all intertested in creating their very own vehicles; and are working as hard as I am to get our concepts out on the road, with our hopes set on providing you with the best vehicle you may ever obtain.
Thank you reading. Please wish us luck.

Deon:
I really (if this is actually a serious post) wish you all the best.
I might have to shed a little light on manufacturing. You mentioned 8 attempts, and your creation is on paper. This has taken 5 years, and you are still updating. Manufacturers have to set the pace, not struggle to keep up.
Taking this long to still be in concept stage, means that by the time production comes along, your concept vehicle will be at least a ten year old vehicle. Thats provided that you can tool and manufacture in the same amount of time as it took to simply draw.

Without getting too terribly specific, what are you doing to re-invent the wheel? What is going to make the G-SAM different?
