Exactly my point. Under current laws it has the same status as that Harley trike. Of course no one can say for sure how the laws may change in the future, but given the need for higher fuel economy, the government'd have to be even stupider than the Bush administration (and I doubt that's possible :-)) to restrict them.

Letting a technology person go back to doing technology is NOT a demotion. Having occasionally been pushed into positions where I had to do management stuff for a while, I can say that words like "relief", "reprieve", and "deliverance" are much more appropriate :-)
