Wonder if he'd take a Gen-1 insight in trade?

It would be interesting to know how much it weighs now...

I want it! Doubt he'd take the insight though, it's a little bit less unique than his current ride lol

They kind of resemble each other from the back though, now that I think about it!

You should be able to pick up the plane-car for $500. The rules of Lemons says that you can't spend more than $500 total for the vehicle, and must be willing to sell the vehicle for $500 on demand if it's entered into the race. The video says he spent $8k, which far exceeds the allowable budget for Lemons.

I want a car that looks like a train.

I'd love to find out how much of a boost he got in highway mpg with that mod.

Regarding the conversion cost - quote "Speedycop knew that he’d be able to sell off some unneeded parts and the excess aluminum to get the build’s budget below the LeMons-mandated $500 limit (although, really, we aren’t going to be sticklers about the nickels and dimes on a project this epic), and so he bought the airplane."

Here is an awesome write up on the project, complete with several videos :

I hadn't thought about the offset problem for the steering wheel. They did a hell of a great job on that ...thing.

Here is an example :
