Very nice, but don't think I can afford a $1.24 million car that goes 253mph.

When I was a kid I had a built up 58 vw bug that I used to race against other kids in their parent's 4-wheel boats. Was really fun until around 110 mpg, when the empty frontend would start shaking.

Back then I thought that was about as fast as a vw would ever get.

With that price tag, I don't think practical transportation was what they had in mind.

I though that was really cool. But when I saw the price, I though, "never mind".
