Yep, it’s real and street legal (mainly because it has a Suzuki engine). Of course, it lights up at night – otherwise, why bother? If you click through, there’s also a video of it driving around … I wonder if you’re liable for all the people driving cars who crash into other cars thinking they’ve […]
