Okay I'm 17 and am lucky enough to drive one of these awesome cars! Let me just say I get asked a ton of questions.

I usually just tell anyone who asked "How Fast is it?", that its slow and nothing special, just a cruiser!

"Almost 80 MPH."

"Nope, about 80.....in reverse"

With a straight face just reply, "42". Then walk away.

It's the answer to everything.
