If it can't be registered, then that means it will probably be confiscated when I get pulled over for doing 115 around I-285 and I'll get more than just a measly $1000 slap on the wrist. That puts a serious damper on my ability to enjoy such a car...

If Subaru can pull off this concept, why couldn't Ford?
Despite the fellated Mickey Rourke reference and a mention of salad-tossing (no mention of jelly), I'm sticking around long enough to vote Nice Price...and now I'm running away from here as fast as I can...
