so this asshole gets a special waiver I guess? afaik there is no way to legally drive this vehicle in the USA. please tell me I'm wrong but all I could find was stuff that was 25+ years old so it doesn't need the NTSB crash certification

You think any driving that the Ford CEO does himself is for purpose, or that he drives on public roads that he doesn't own?

I mean you can buy one in Mexico if you want to see what happens if you drive one on a public US road, assuming you can drive it back

Well you see, American products are for stinky poor people! I’m sure they don’t mind paying more for less good products! It’s their patriotic duty after all.
