| I don't think anyone could do reverse engineer a car. It had to be developed in a forward gear. |

I think it would be very difficult to reverse engineer a car without being able to machine the parts to a very precise tolerance. Hard to imagine a blacksmith being able to do that.
But more than the car itself, aren't you forgetting about two important things: 1) Said society needs to be able to refine gasoline/ethanol to a purity that isn't going to blow the engine 2) How is the air conditioning going to work without refrigerant? Chlorofluorocarbons weren't even synthetically feasible until the 1890s. |
