I've personally becoming more and more frustrated with new automobiles. The fluff, the marketing, the gadgets, the nicknacks, and the do-dads are overwhelming. I want to go back to the drive. When the drive was enough. We've layered and layered until I saw a cover for a cover under a hood covered in paint with a cover to protect the paint? ... Seems silly to describe but that is a true statement. It's just all gotten out of control.
Or, as Steve Martin would say, "four F_ing wheels, and a seat!"

Just a little bit of a geometric body shell, maybe held on with 1/4 turn DZUS fasteners, would be a bit nice, but I do like the elemental premise.
And with a 383 SBC, and almost no weight, I'll bet it is ridiculously fast.

Yeah, I would want some sort of rollover protection. It's still nice an elemental with a rollcage or something to keep you alive.
