Because it's more practical as a vehicle. It's more aerodynamic, probably more reliable since there will probably be parts available, and you won't get weird looks from other cars on the road.

Needless to say I was not a very imaginative kid. Guess that's what happens when you're raised by a down-to-earth, jerk of a father. I wasn't even allowed to believe in Santa.

I think it's a whole lot easier to find some cheese or hot dog than parts for some weird metallic car, and if you don't care about aerodynamics it can't get you.

Yeah, about that...

Not for long, unfortunately.
