Neal, did he let you drive it?
No, he did not offer, and I did not ask. My goal is to live to 80.

It's an amazing machine, one that I would not really have any good use for, but for what it is, it's pretty cool.

There's an hour long video of the staged event unveiling and the cheesy PR hype is as impressive as the car itself.
