There are couple of things that stick out with the car being impractical;

-Only 200 miles before a recharge isn't acceptable for me,the closest auto-x place is 160 miles road trip,that leaves me with 40 miles of fun,but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to get a full 40 while I'm auto-xing.

-No matter how hard they try,they will never produce anything that will match the TRUE sound of a car's engine. I've seen a Pimp My Ride episode where they installed some sound gizmo to try and make a van sound like an Austin Martin......
Besides,just the fact that I know it's simulated will take away from the fun.

-Plugging in cords to charge/maintain stuff is a pain. I only plug my battery maintainer in if I know the car is going to sit for near a week+,I don't like getting the extension cord out,plugging in stuff,then hooking up the maintainer and then leaving a cable running across the garage floor.
