This is so big and cool. No way I could put that in the shop and close the door. Wonder how much that thing weights?

I don't know what it weighs but it would be cool for ferrying folks from the hotel to your sports bar, bed and breakfast or whatever.

2+2 meant that it came with 2 front bucket seats, a middle console & eight(8) lug nut wheels.

Wouldn't that be a 2+1+8 then!

Reminds me of the "car experts" on TV that always screw up 442:

"Four racing tires, 4 headlights and two doors!"
