I still like to drive the car on the street and see myself taking it to work and just randomly driving around on nice days this summer. A fuel cell just seems to put the car over the top of a street car but it is starting to be less and less of a daily driver.

I guess I should look into the fuel cell option. But if the cell is aluminum I'd have to get it anodized, and a steel cell would probably add weight. With a cell I'd also have to buy new lines from the tank all the way to the rail, where with a surge tank mounted in the bay I would only have to buy a little bit of line. Also with the fuel cell you have to figure out a place t mount it and build a fire wall around it. Nothing I couldn't handle but a lot more work and weight.

I should really price out both options though.
