Why would you want a newer vehicle?
Older vehicles were cool, but a good modern car will run far longer than an old car.
If you ever watch any of those shows where someone goes around to junkyards looking for an older car to pull out, listen to them talk about the mileage. 50-70k was about the norm before the thing rotted away or the transmission blew itself apart.
My 2007 focus went 238k before it's first "stops me from running" failure, and I could have limped away from that as well but decided to just replace the parts.
The Focus really is an excellent car. I have two of them. It would look entirely alien back then though. The fiberglass body alone would be crazy to them.
Mine is steel body, so not terribly unusual.
I'd simply tell people it's a test model. Ford is trying to make a lot of power in a car that sips gas. The biggest problem I see here is that car manufacturers, especially the OEM (Ford) would probably be after you in a mafia sort of way, if one of the paranoid government cold-war-atomic-paranoia three-letters didn't vanish you first.
Of course, if you "lose" the key, the car is worthless until they can reverse engineer the computers.
Just to prove no one would notice it.
