Bill Gates, I think, will have one
Actually Gates has 3 or 5 or something. One of each color if I recall.

What happened is that the US government requires like 4 specimin cars to use in safety tests (READ: Crashing them into walls) and Porsche steadfastly refused to let their babies be used (READ: Wasted) in such a manner. Someone in Congress or something finally buckled I guess, and 959s are now street legal. Not like really was any question in the first place. It's a Porsche for crying out loud, not one of those junky Acuras!
