It is his car, he can do whatever he wants to his property and make it into his dream. It is just a car, and if that is what he wants to do, fine.
My 911 is a fat pig in comparison at 2,741 pounds but I have great air conditioning, and heaters, comfortable seats and I can drive it for 12 hours at a time and arrive feeling great. But that is MY design for a perfect 911, and not his.

Agree completely...useless for say. a 500 mile trip. Great as an exercise in how far the insanity can go. No seatbelts, for example...they weigh too much?
