How about a Suzuki Cappuccino ? Looks almost like a mini S2000.

Pics are for the people looking at this thread and don't know what it looks like.

Anything is possible. Just gotta throw enough money at the right people to solve this dilemma.

Just ask Larry Ellison about his McLaren F1 in Woodside/San Carlos.

Good luck on getting one over here. They stopped production in 1996 and I think they only produced 33,000 of them.

Funny you should mention that car. A friend of mine knows one of the guys at the hangar where the car is kept and has video from when McLaren and BMW techs were there servicing the car. What a beautiful thing.

Another story about the car: Some DMV or CARB officials showed up to smog the car or something and the directions from Larry were something along the lines of "Sure, do what you need to do, but you can't start it."

The NHTSA site has all of the information you need. Be sure to import two of them. The first one they crash test, and the second one will have to be certified by the EPA and any modifications they feel is required, that includes information that they got from the crash test. The cost not including the vehicles or modifications, about $40,000
