So here is your problem then. You are completely ignorant of the events that led to my "researching" the 340R on the street, yet somehow you are qualified to pass judgment on me and "guys like you."
Here is the background for my asking the question which btw was not "how do I get around the law and illegally drive a 340R on the street?" but was "Is this DMV lady correct that I could drive a 340R on the street?":
I was talking to a dealer about a potential car purchase for my wife. He and I were chit chatting about cars in general and the conversation led to antiques. We began to talk about the different antique cars that he and I had owned. When I mentioned my current antique Seven he said, "You have a Lotus?" I replied, "I have two right now and will probably get more in the future." He then said I assume seeing another sales opportunity, "we have a 340R for sale." I said, "Wow, that's pretty neat. I wish they could be driven on the street. I wish I could drive a 2-11 on the road also. I'd get a 2-11 if it was road legal." He said, "you may be able to register the 340R. It is titled. It is not road registrable here in my state but it may be in yours. You should call your DMV and check it out." That sparked my curiosity and confusion, particularly having been under the assumption that they were not registrable in any state, and I called the DMV. I became slightly more confused when the DMV lady said that I could indeed register and legally drive the 340R here in VA. So, in order to avoid hours of digging through VA DMV legaleez I started a thread here, where many members have much more knowledge than I.
