    Just one of five made, this was an incredibly rare opportunity that I am honored to have experienced! You can be forgiven if you were hoping the car would go faster. This car is in a museum in downtown Philly, and a racetrack just isn't easy to come by there. But still, just riding in this car at any speed was so humbling.

    This video contains self composed music (don't worry, NOT while the car is making noise!), and some commentary about the ride and museum. I would love to hear your honest feedback. Thank you very much!

    True, but only 5 of the LHs (longtail) versions were made.
