Local-Motors: Kit Car or ?

[Don]

From an article in the Sunday Boston Globe, would appear, when presented to the state DMV, still a kit car for inspection/registration etc .

" Rogers has envisioned a unique way to enter the auto industry: halfway between Ford Motor Co. and the companies that make “kit’’ cars the mechanically adept assemble in their own garages. Shell out the money for a Rally Fighter of your own, and you are committing to spend two weekends at a Local Motors “microfactory,’’ working alongside technicians to put your car together. Think of it as a “paint you own pottery’’ business model aimed at gearheads.

“We don’t sell cars - we sell an experience,’’ Rogers is fond of saying.

And selling an experience will help Local Motors escape from some of the stringent federal safety requirements, like crash-testing, that apply to cars that you purchase from major automakers. If you build at least 51 percent of the vehicle yourself, Rogers explains, the vehicle can elude those rules "
