BTW, there are quite a few Ferrets running 'round the States. They're affordable so they're a great "starter" vehicle for military enthusiasts. Plus, it's very simple to make them road legal in most states (some states it's simply a matter of doing the safety inspection and paying the registration and nothing more), so they're great for both show and daily use.
