Don't waste your time. I didn't even go that far; my suggestion was to get what you want but take the course. The attitude I got back was, "Cars are big. Be very afraid," and was labeled a bully for hassling them. I'm sure the Rhodes Car will do very well on the MUP, as long as everyone else gets out of its way. I still believe that better riding technique will enhance safety more than simply riding something that's bigger, but... ya know what they say about leading a horse to drink...
