For those of you who live on long island, you may have happened to see this...
I was driving on the LIE (Long Island Expressway) today, and ran into some traffic. When I got up to the cop car and finally saw what all the fuss was, there was an RX-8 pulled over, and some 3 wheeled (may have been 4 wheels, with 2 next to each other in the back) motor-cycle, car roadster thing-a-mabob was right there too. Never seen it before, have no idea wtf it is. I doubled back on the LIE with my camera and took some shots across the median doing about 70. Only got some blurry glimpses of the back. Anyone know wtf this thing is? It looked AWESOME.
These guys stopped by my corporate campus recently to show off the cars. They had 2 gas-powered ones, and one electric. I didn't get a chance to ride in one - but they sure did seem zippy.

Saw one in Perth Amboy a few days ago, how much do these things go for?

The first one ever built was purchased by Wyclef Jean. I've seen one driving around my area only once. Don't know who had it though (I don't think it was a celebrity or anything).

[/quote]It's a 3 wheeled ninja zx-14. It'll get you roughly 45mpg.
