But I still have the hots for a WCM UltraLite (http://www.wcmultralite.com/), which can be had with either the S2000 powertrain or the Hayabusa power train(!). I've visited the "factory" in Texas, and they're incredible.

Was that in DC or Virginia? Do you have the text of the letter used in appeal?

I've been thinking "What a fugly car! And I wouldn't want to take it up on the highway around here." But put a nice rice rocket motor in it and you've got something! And so what if it only gets about 35 mpg with close to 200 HP worth of Gixxer motor... I like it! Perry I wonder if it's a wheelie machine, too...

Reminds me of the more streetable but no less dorky Ford Festiva SHOgun.
