I found it again today -- it was parked in front of Xtreme Delusions on 12th St. (a motorcycle shop, evidently). They're becoming a new Midwestern dealer.

The guy told me the T-Rex has the backend of a Kawasaki ZZR 1200, and uses its instrument cluster and handle bars as well. He also said that $39,000 would be for a demo model -- new ones start at $43,000.

I got a look at it up close. It's very small, and there's no place to put anything. In fact, this one had motorcyle saddlebags out back, because the interior (if you can even call it that) is just a roll cage and a floorpan. Totally impractical. My desire has evaporated. Neat, but not for me.

"Totally impractical. My desire has evaporated. Neat, but not for me."

It's all about raw fun, not practicality. If somebody that lives around here can spend that kind of money on a vehicle they can only drive 6-8 months of the year, practicality isn't very high on the list.

Aren't they licensed as motorcycles instead of cars?

I remember seeing an article in a car magazine a long time ago about a guy who built something like this from a wrecked motorcycle and car parts. The article's author was amazed that in spite of the Pinto front end, the thing was able to out corner a Porsche 911. I've wanted to build something like that ever since. sigh

I saw it today. Walking home from work, I turn the corner and there it is! I had a chance to talk with the owner for a few minutes about it; the steering wheel comes out -- a la F1 racer -- for easier entry and egress, the seats move forward and back for different leg lengths... And looking at the website, they also have the T/R version, which has a V-twin thumper instead of the 4 cylinder Kawasaki engine.

Where you see "totally impractical", I see a low center of gravity, low weight, wide tires, and loads of fun. I still want one.

sigh

The T-Rex is a very expensive vehicle for its lack of practicality, but for flat-out performance the T-Rex is a fairly decent deal. If what I hear about it outperforming a Porsche in acceleration and on the skidpad is true, then the price of nearly 30 grand less makes the T-Rex's price of around $40,000 more reasonable. And anyway, is anyone thinking of purchasing a Porsche Turbo or a motorcycle really thinking about practicality?

But who really buys a vehicle for pure performance above it being...well, a car? If I was buying something for nothing but naked speed, why not save another $25,000 and just buy a really, really fast sport bike?

With a Porsche you get an enclosed vehicle with a decent warranty that will transport two adults in comfort. You can't really compare the two -- apples to oranges.

I drove by Xtreme Delusions today, and the yellow screamer was there next to a marquee saying there is a contest with an '05 T-Rex as the grand prize. Practical or not, if they were to give one to me, I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth.

LOWER THE PRICE

The Kawasaki T-Rex is an unbelivable car/motorcycle hybrid or whatever you want to call it. Impractical or not I would buy one if the price was 10,000 more.

I thought the price would be a lot less. There's not a lot of metal to cover you up. It's more like a motorcycle than anything. Drop the price though!

i AM JUST LOOKING INTO THE T REX. i WAS LOOKING A BROUSHIURE I COULD LOOK AT HOME. ALL OF MY ASKING HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED. i FINALLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A DEALERSHIP IN THE UNITED STATES. aLL iKNOW IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT WAS NOT AS EXPENSIVE TO OWN ONE OF THESES MACHINE.

THEY COST WAY TO MUCH AND THAT WHY YOU NEVER RELLY SEE THEM DROP PRICE TO 25 TOUSAND THAT WHAT I THINK

lower the coast so i can have one

lower the price.....

hmmm... when are they coming down under to Oz & who's gonna bring em !!!

how much does a kawasaki t-rex cost in pounds

you guys are a bounch of lower class losers. Go make some money and get a better job then talk about buying the t-rex

you guys are a bounch of lower class losers. Go make some money and get a better job then talk about buying the t-rex

We may not have as much money as you do but at least we can spell the word bunch....go back to school bounch!!!!??? laughs what a crack head!!!

THey say the T-Rex can out run a Porshe 911 turbo and has 145 HP. Its nice. I want on but to pricy. I might as well get a Ducati 749 that still can get some babes.

How about a kit? If they can't sell us the vehicle(toy) at a reasonable price perhaps some of us could build one. I would be interested in plans and sources for materials etc. I can buy a motorcycle anywhere.

While not quite the T-Rex, and not quite a kit, the Tri-Magnum is pretty close. You can get plans at http://www.rqriley.com/tri-mag.html

It looks like the plans detail how to build the body with a fiberglass/foam construction. The plan uses a Volkswagen front end, but I would think that you could also modify the design to use the front end from other vehicles.

i saw ja rules t rex the other day. i cant really sit in it beacause it is 2 smalll but high in speeds and prices

Looks like Sioux Falls lost its T-Rex dealership; Xtreme Delusions has shut its doors.

Yes the Tri-Magnum is a great kit, I hope more people bring it back to life, 43,000 is way too steep for a T-Rex..compared to 3,000 to 6,000 for a tri-mag designed your own way..

Ken

u all think its worth it when u can only drive in sunny non-cold conditions? a sports car around 40,000 can be driven anytime

My father and i saw this "bike" at a magazine, he wanted to buy it for me since im 17 and im legal to drive here at mexico, anyway we saw the price and we said both, at the same time "No way" i mean... a Honda CBR 1000 is better and cost less, He rather choosed the Toyota Mr2 its cheaper, has a trunk and 2 seats :)

All I got to say, is that you either love of hate the T-Rex, I love it, for those who don't stop bitchin and leave us alone.. we don't hate you for your choices in life now do we so back up

Midwestern Droolers for the T-Rex -

Try Randy's Cycle in Huntley, IL. New Dealer for T-Rex.. They are excellent people to deal with.

I love the T-Rex. The looks and muscle power is totally unbelievable. I look at it as an upgraded motorcycle, so I really don't need a trunk but the suitcases may come in handy. You can even add on a CD Player, speakers and all the goodies. Hey guyz, look at it as a fun bike good to take out a chic for a date.

way too much!!!!!!!!!!!! I think i'll stick with my cbr600rr for now at least until I can come up with the money!

I smoke a 911 in my BMW M5 you fag! my M5 is 520 hp. 6 speed, 1/2 mile 10.4 sec.

Yeh right 1/2 mile in 10.4 sec. idiot

Drop the price to $28,000 and its sold!!! I can buy a used bad ass viper R/10 for $40,000.

any one have t-rex specs/ perfomance info...

I LIKE THE T-REX BECAUSE IT'S A CAR AND A MOTORCYCLE. BUT I THINK THE PRICE IS OUTRAGOUS. BESIDES PEOPLE BITCH ABOUT HOW THERE'S NO ROOM...SO BUY A CAR INSTEAD. EVEN IF THAT WAS THE CASE PEOPLE THAT RIDE BIKES DON'T CARE ABOUT ROOM THEY WANT HORSEPOWER!!!!!! COME OUT WITH SOMETHING THAT's15 THOUSAND THAT'S SATISFYING TO BUYERS.

15,000 and ill buy one right now.. im looking for a used one.. i know good luck right

"I smoke a 911 in my BMW M5 you fag! my M5 is 520 hp. 6 speed, 1/2 mile 10.4 sec."

Wait I love BMW's but.. 1/2 mile in 10.4 secs, I don't think it's a reasonable QUARTER mile time for it, it's more like 12-13 secs even with your 520hp V10, anyways, giving a 1/2 HALF MILE time is SOOOO FUCKING STUPID, how dare you, a 1/2 mile time..."oh yeah my car goes from 0-60 KPH in 3 secs!"

FUCK YOU STUPID ASS FUCKER, 911 = lot less power than a M5 = still u suck, u don't even have a M5..u wished u had a 1 series!

I own a 04 t-rex and thats the best 40 grand i've spent I just love the thing . As for the handling in the curves I push motorcylces down the mountain.plus its paying for itself Iget 500 dollars to show up at car shows i do video shots and calenders so its a great investment and a whole lot of fun.

Cool, but I thought the price would be in the 20's, and used in the teens, love it, but am moving on to more reasonable priced toys...to bad, though...:)

Here is a new/used Trimagnum, priced at 1/4th of the T-Rex. Oh what a ride.....

lower the price? its high so not every average joe blow can get one, i wouldnt want one if some punk teenager had one...besides u know the asians would wnat them, then they would ruin it by putting a huge ass spoiler on the back etc, its expesnive because its supposed to be not cuz it costs a lot to make

The dude with th BMW M5 Ass blower A 2005 Saleen S7 has a 1/2 in 11.51 theres no way

This thing is Pimp as hell but i'll stick to my R1

I think CORBIN was making vehicles similar to the T-rex, but smaller. In any case, its a unique vehicle but just not justifyable for over 40Gs unless you have disposable income.

Hello,

You people are not seeing for what it is. It is a toy. A fast, fun, safer-than-a-motorcycle toy for people that can afford toys. Besides Campagna is a business; it is entitled to a profit. Do you people honestly think that Chevy is not making a killing on the Corvette. Oh yeah, even worse Ferrari. Let us not forget Ducati-- 20K for a bike that cannot smoke the competition that is 10K less.

BTW the T-Rex can pull 1.9gs on the skid pad--without a spoiler or sticky tires; this stat is more than a bike can do. And if I was driving over some road debrise at any speed, I would be a thousand times more likely to survive in the T-Rex than on a motorcycle.

A good solution to the price problem would be to build one yourself. It would not be that expensive--if you had some of the necessary skills. Furthermore, I believe there is plenty of room for improving the design. I think Campagna had to make some compromises in order to sell the thing. I think that with a more aerodynamic body (and a windshield), wider/stickier tires, a spoiler, and a turbocharged Hayabusa motor; a trike would beat all other road going vehicles save the indy style/open-wheel race cars.

In conlusion, I will say, God bless you all because God lovingly made you. And His son Jesus Christ suffered and died for you (instead of you) to cancel the penalty for your sins (wrong, corrupt deeds). The penalty being eternal separation from God (death). Furthermore, Jesus Chirst died in died to give you the chance to be reconciled to God and have a relationship Him. This salvation is a gift; God offers it to anyone, but like all gifts you must accept it. You can have this gift by praying (speaking) to God--recognizing, acknowledging, and accepting--Jesus Christ as the only source for saving you and asking God to forgive you for your countless life long sins against Him, and turning away/departing from sin.

In Christ Jesus, Jacob

looking for a used t-rex. any ideas???

Lower the price'

Don't get me wrong, i love the T-Rex and have been back and forth about buying one for a few reasons...fun factor, uniqueness, etc., but I'm still not totally sold. Being in the automotive industry myself I see mass amounts of vehicles and have driven most. It's always difficult to buy anything without weighing all the options. So with that said, for a similar price, the Lotus Elise. Fun, unique and even in southern CA I've only seen 1 where I've seen a small handful of T-Rex vehicles out there.

Needless to say, I still haven't made up my mind yet.

I've got an Elise & Ducati in the garage, and all I can say is if the T-Rex performs as advertised, it would be well worth the $40K... Looking for a dealer in my area or within roadtrip distance to check one out...

I just got my t- rex today if you dont have one dont comment.It is freackin awesome!!!!!If you are really thinking about buying one you will wondcer why you waited so long...mine is the thunder model #5 of 10 with the S&Smotor my heart has not stopped beating like a school boy in girls locker room ha!Guys listen real good now IT IS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY if you have to ask you cant afford it anyway.like i worry about the gas mileage of my hummer thats not what i bought it for.no offense to anyone somethings just are enjoylife guys it toooooooo short peace and love to each of you .what ever you got enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!

How much did you pay for it Rob?? I study Industrial Designing in Holland and í have to do some research...

To the dolt who said get a better job and that we're lower class losers:

Surely someone who makes as much money as you seem to make since you're higher class and therefore not a loser, don't you think someone that could afford that would have the business sence to see that it isn't worth $43,000.

The T-RAX is awsome man its FAST

If its a toy, then its a toy and worth is subjective. As an investment it may or may not be worth the money asked, but it surely depends on how you employ it as an asset if you are viewing it as an investment. None of you but the one above have thought of creative ways to lower the cost of ownership. That is why you are working for other people and complaining that this costs too much. Maybe when you learn how to make capital and assets productive, you too one day will be able to afford one without worrying about the price. Even then, you could decide not to buy because you feel your money would be better spent elsewhere. Just realize your posts have the stench of jealousy rather than the enthusiast spirit that you should be conveying. Then again, you are entitled to your opinions....

lower the freackin price and all yall need to learn how 2 spell i mean ur all prolly stuck up white rich boys livin in a condo that his daddy bought u fagets i mean grow up and get a job dont u think its time 2 stop spendin dads money ur like male paris hiltons ur so gay

I don't own a T-Rex. I hardly have the money for a used Pinto. But I can comment on why it is a good buy, given a few conditions... Here are the conditions:

You like to go fast. You like 'the feel of speed'. (multi-directional acceleration, closeness to ground, wind, and raw motor/moving part sounds and vibrations) You like to show that you like to go fast and enjoy the feel of speed. You like to sit in a vehicle that does not require balancing (as opposed to a motorcycle) You like to drive a vehicle that is more difficult to wipe out with than a motorcycle. You don't have tons of money. You like novelties/novel toys. You like to share the beauty of the body style of the T-Rex.

The T-Rex provides much speed on a stable platform which is low to the ground, increasing the 'feel of speed' and is very open, increasing 'the feel of speed'. You do not have to balance as you do on a bike, and it is less risky to drive than a bike. You only paid less than 50,000 us dollars for it. Those people in town that you met...some of them affable, would LOVE to ride with you. You can take yourself and your new companions on joyrides.

Speaking of Porches, in response to a previous comment: In one, you are not as low to the ground. They are not as good at acceleration They're big and bulky. Their interiors are cluttered with useless things like air conditioners, heaters, and stereos. They do not perform as well on the skid pad. They are enclosed, and the feel of speed is diminished. They get less attention. They cost more. They're worse for the environment. Why not get a Porche? They don't appeal to the best desires of the buyer. Period. Different people appreciate different things. It's the result of our different learning histories; it's no peculiarity that other people have different appreciations.

Wow. Dude who talketh about Jesus? You made a damn good point, I suppose, about the potential for an EVEN BETTER vehicle...but it was ABSOLUTELY RUINED by your Jesus crap. That's stupid bullshit. How are we to trust, now, that you know what you're talking about, when you're so irrational as to believe in this whole Christian bullshit movement??
You were good until you spoiled it, kid.

lol

you purchase what you like and want to spend, no matter who you are

yo i saw the T-Rex and I WANT ONE

It is in fact an interesting vehicle. But for the price its not worth it unless you really have the money to purchase toys like that. I would rather spend 10k on a new YZF-R1 honestly.

I'm a T-Rex mechanic and they're not worth the money. One of the T-Rex's I work on is worth 80k. I have a blast driving them. I own a sport bike worth 40k and it doesn't get as many looks as a T-Rex. I just wish they had a zx12r motor or even better a Hayabusa motor!

My son sold his bike and bought a t-rex, He must be crazy.He is 40 year old and time to settle down.I am 72 years old and waiting for him to get married ,have children so I still have strength to bounce them, and he bounces around with his toy..

If dude is reading this .... right on! When I go Diamond I'm going to get one in each color and some custom colored.

does it come in orange?

Hello, to all those that say its too expensive; well you obviously cant afford it. my dad got one and let me tell you something it is the most amazing thing ever. this car is not built for practicality strictly for fun and amusement and that is EXACTLY what it does. If anyone lives around the Ocean City, Maryland area chances are you have seen me or my dad driving it since we do indeed drive it just as much as any other car. As for the fellow who said its too expensive and not practical again.... think of it as a ferrari. its a rich man's toy not some knockoff piece of crap that everyone can afford and yes you can get a corvette for the price but.... you see corvette's all the time and if you strive to be different as my father and i do then the t-rex is worth the money. good things come in small expensive packages.

My uncle recently bought one. Nice machine. I say if you have the money get one.

i just bought 2 of them and i dog the hell out of them i got more money where that came from my r1 is alot faster and nicer.

COMMON NOW.... its a v6... in a mini

Hello to all T-Rex enthusiasts & T-Rex owners. My name is JoTurbo from DGY Motorsports and I sell T-Rex's. I personally own my own T-Rex and I am a huge advocate.

I personally have a lot of street "seat time" in several T-Rex's and I am hooked. After several turns in the T-Rex I was left with a burning desire to drive it more. It made me feel as though I was given special permission to do something that wasn't really legal to do on public roads, like driving a Formula One car on the street. It is a blast to drive and I can't wait to do it again each time I park one.

At DGY we have plans to become Campagna-T-Rex's #1 dealership but we know the only way to reach this goal is by satisfying one customer at a time.

If I can be of any assistance re:T-Rex questions, please call or email me at (630)675-5900 or joturbo@dgy.com. Please check out www.t-rexusa.com for more info. Kind regards, JoTuebo

The Tri-Magnum seemed like an interesting concept but it's too much trouble and I find it still too expencive for what you get. I'd rather spend about 5000$ of something else, but then again it's my opinion:

Tri-Magnum worth 3 500 + ''the cost of the motorcycle used as a basis''... something people seem to forget about ... add 1500 to 5000$ (if you're lucky you happen to be that one bidder on ebay that'll get a KZ900 for 1500$)

-0 to 60 mph in 9.5 -Top speed 125 mph

T-Rex worth 39 000 (no assembly required)

-0 to 60 mph in 3.9 -Top speed 150 mph

The T-Rex can't really be driven when it rains (not that I would dare drive a Tri-Magnum in rain either for safety reasons, but at least you don't get wet much in that thing) but the it has a unique feel: you're sitting at ground level. That alone makes a difference. And for those with the need for speed, I'd even recommend the T-Rex over cars that can go 200 mph + that mostly all cost 100 000$ plus, and that, it's without the 0-60 in 3.9 sec. For such acceleration, look more into the 200 000$ plus luxury sports cars. So for what it has to offer, the T-Rex is suprisingly cheap. Seeing as it's much less practical then most other sport cars, it's understandable that the price tag isn't all that big.

Someone emailed this link of a T-Rex in action:

http://www.trendpimp.com/displayimage.php?album=8&pos=19

Site is questionable. Video gets interesting at the end.

they need to build on with a suzuki hayabusa 1300 engine. but either way it must not be planning to stay around long concidering that no one in their right mind id going to pay 45,000 for a (anything) that only has a one year warranty.

I'm very interested in purchasing a t-rex but they seem so hard to find in Virginia. So what I'm really trying to say is that Va needs a dealer.

I like this cool car can you give me one for free

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.. LET ME SEE?????............ MY OPINION THE T-REX IS DEFINATELY OFF THE HOOK!!! I WOULD LOVE TO OWN ONE, JUST TO HAVE ALL EYES ON ME, ESPECIALLY AROUND MY AREA. BUT TRUE STORY....... IT'S REALLY TO EXPENSIVE!! AND BETTER KNOWING MYSELF, I REFUSE TO PAY OVER $35,000 FOR A METAL COFFIN.......... WELL THERE GOES MY T-REX!!! I'LL STICK WITH MY BARSTOOL RACER, I STILL TURN HEAD WHERE EVER I GO, AND BESIDES IT ONLY COST ME $1,800 TO BUILD.
BETTER LUCK FOR ALL YOU DREAMERS OUT THERE. LOL,LOL.. PEACE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

unbelievable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! t-rex is a rich mans toy lets face it.... i'll stick with the guy who has the barstool racer.. he has common sense to turn heads at a much cheaper price. where can i get a barstool racer my nigga..... call me (973) 851-6469 or call my girl GeeGee (973) 472-9048. she gives good head too.... i love that hoe.. she tricks for cheap.

Just stay tuned...I know people knocking it off with there own patent version. Lot cooler! Price around 20,000.00 Thats realistic. That t-rex def aint worth 40,000.00!

Bottom line; cute, but no real merit over the Ariel Atom by the look of it.

Where can I buy a kit?

I agree with dude if you had the money and a place to put it you buy it just so show off it would be cool to drive to around and the traffic stopping would be funny but you get to meet some people as you all have done to the owner

Well - I love it. - But I think they are SO overpriced. I bought one - made privately - limited production right now - for $18,500. base price. I love it and have so much fun. anyone interested drop me a line!!! we are starting a touring club for 3-wheelers and want some fun guys to ride with us!!!!!!

its a nice car/bike but wouldnt buy 1 unless the price was more like £15,000. i would never pay £40,000 for 1

I have a Campagna T rex. I'm looking to increase the performance. Any suggestions?

I’m looking to increase the performance. Any suggestions?

Trade it in on an Ariel Atom.

The price may very well be the MSRP, but even at that, it is over priced. The vehicle is not new as far as the idea, but it does have some very interesting features. All in all, I think the actual selling price might be in the 25K range. I might consider buying one at that price, but not higher...

If i had 40 grand I'd buy it no questioned asked. I don't have 40 grand so I will build one. It is so simple an IFS , roll cage, two seats, steering wheel, swing arm , motor and tires, slap it all together and you are done. I have been doing welding and fabricating for ten years I expect it to be done mid 07. The only question I have about it is does it have power steering? my guess is no.

I heard the T-REX is not road legal in Ontario. Does anyone know if this is true?

Tri-magnum? you mean the front of the Pink Panthers car. I want a T-rex after i nearly fell over one in San Fransisco but nearly gagged on my cornflakes at the price. Who is talking about a kit? i would get one sent to UK if i could find one i could bespoke. As for M5s and Porsches, I've got a 13 year old Lotus Carlton that still kicks the piss out of any nazi go cart or over priced any colour long as its red crap. And i'm not some minted 'we try to be different but its my dads money so i have to be different because hes paying for it' dick either.

You lot still think 55 is fast. " But your already doing 65!!!!!!!!!!" Lethal Weapon 2, wow thats one wacky crazy dude....ZZZZZZZZZZZ..............almost makes me piss my pants when i hear that one. Your average Ms Daisy does twice that here going to bingo. Ding ding ding ding ding BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

But can I fit my golf clubs in it?! :D

Well al of you are missing the major point of owning a T-REX in comparison to a duccatti .......The pure saftey asspect of things .........On a bike ,there's much to worry about like ,pot wholes , drivers not paying attion , sand patches ,rocks,.......pretty much all things that could knock a bike off it's center of gravity ......On a T-REX the center of gravity is firmly placed between a big fat tire in the back , and two tires in the front , yes there is much to worry about in the T-REX but not much more then being in a car .Sure the T-REX has no doors or air bags but neither does a bike . So compairing the two is a none event , a T-REX is way safer than a bike and less expencive then a porsch .Yet the handling and controll of them both , I wounder why there's even an argument . It's a great buy hands down ,I promise you if a anyone pulled up to you in a ferrari , porsch carrera and care to date deemed a super car both the passenger and driver will be absolutly astound by the t-rex asking questions and just plain shock at the sheer site of the T-REX............Chills just thinking of it ...............plus I bet this thing could pull way more ladies than a bike...hands down

BANKS

If anyone is interested I live in Quebec and I'm far from rich and I owed one of these and let me say they are worth every penny. There should be no comparisons made to cars or bikes since it is neither. The reason it's licensed as a bike is to get it on the road since it would never pass as a passenger vehicle. Ignore the price and think in terms of cost of ownership which isn't bad. I kept mine for 2 years and sold it for 1,000 less than I paid, if I add everything up it was actually cheaper to own than my GSXR. No other vehicle can offer this performance at this cost, none ! No car gathers as much attention and the handling is un-believable , it's like driving an F1 car on the street. I did lots of mileage and met tons of people because of it. If you don't like being in the limelight then don't buy one of these ! You'd have to set your Lambo on fire to get more attention !

I had 8 of these T-Rex's (Quebec plates) pull into my office parking lot off the 401 today. I had to stop what I was doing and take a closer look. Very cool looking machine! Doesn't look very comfortable, or roomy and unless you have helmet microphones how could you converse to your passenger???? I asked one of the drivers if they had a radio or cd on board. The answer was "no" Bottom line. If you have all the toys, and you can afford one (I think they are very overpriced) buy one. I'll stick with my 05 vette. You are very cool looking T-Rex, but thanks anyway..........you are not for me!

43k base price plus another 7 to 10 grand in options yeah right, don't get me wrong I'm a speed fanatic but that is outrageous what the hell do you think it cost to slap that together?? Somebody will figure out a way to package that better at reasonable price so the regular Joe can have one!! That is simply overpriced!!

Yea I'm a nerdy white guy, who thinks i have money. I will buy on and leave my smelly old 1970's house up to rot away and be a [deleted] and sell everything i have to get one. (i dont have a licsence) so i will show it off by peeling the tires down my mom's house's driveway and all the neighborhood kids will think i'm BAD ...............
