What can I say? As a 2012 owner I will readily admit that we were beta testers. This bundle of wood and metal went from a sketch on a napkin to a prototype in 18 months. Mistakes were made.

I also drive the little Blau Beastie hard and often!

What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.
