Meh, the guy is an idiot, from the standpoint of putting himself in that situation to begin with. Completely avoidable. He blew past a militarized checkpoint at high speed in a Citroen, wrecked it in the desert? I mean good on him, but he should stay home.

It took 12 days to build this thing. He could have walked out in a coupe of days max.
Personally I wouldn't have wasted the effort to build it
