Not your usual engineer

I was reminded of this video this morning. Since there was a car angle to it (unfortunately, not a Lotus), I thought some of us might enjoy it:

Thanks BDA for posting this...

The courage and determination this young man has, is truly a blessing for all to contemplate on how fortunate we really are.

Wow what an inspiration.  I'd love to see all the tools and devices he made over the years to make life more independent for himself, like the spoon holder etc.  I bet he is an engineer that thinks outside the box.

Thanks for sharing.
