My gut would have to catch a later flight.

I'd buy one, but I'm not a fan of the "look at me and how green I am" design.
*edit* also not a fan of 30hp. |

I would consider owning an inexpensive high mileage "city car" if it was not my only car. I want something that is narrow enough to put on a plow, to do my sidewalks in the winter before driving to work. |

also, the photoshopped luxury cars are cute and I'd buy the lamborghini if I never had to take it outside a private track..
I'd be afraid of getting laughed at...

You might be a hood ornament.  Other than than that, if you can spool up to interstate speeds, the only down side would be maneuverability & the ability to get out of trouble, quick-like. My 1,200cc bike does that for me...
