Car Produced With a 3D Printer 257
Lanxon writes "A prototype for an electric vehicle — code named Urbee — is the first to have its entire body built with a 3D printer, reports Wired. Stratasys and Winnipeg engineering group Kor Ecologic have partnered to create the electric/liquid fuel hybrid, which can deliver more than 200 miles per gallon on the motorway and 100 miles per gallon in the city."

Because of this post alone, Canada will enact a car piracy tax on all 3D printers and 3D "ink" to cover the losses car manufacturers will suffer due to pirated printed cars.
See what you have done!!!! Poor Canadians!!!!
PS. Please do not note all the other things that can be pirated with a 3D Printer else they will include additional taxes for the toy, furniture, and decoration industries!!!

But then the AMIAA (Automobile Manufacturing Industry Association of America) will start suing random VIN numbers hoping to catch part-pirates.

Exactly! And the next thing you know the RIAA will be cracking down on people pirating cars over torrents and printing them at home.
