Better than a Porsche or Ferrari, buy a MIG-21. You won't wait much in traffic jam with one of these, but MPG must be horrible.

The plane is located in Santa Maria, California USA where inspection can take place. The import paperwork was approved long ago. No US EUC is required. If the buyer is foreign, seller will need an EUC and will have to get a US permit to export it.

Even Supercaffeinated will be jealous.

Your picture prompted me to do a search of the F-22 (Yes, I'm a bit bored). Interestingly, I found out about the YF-23, which was produced by a team from Northrop/McConnell Douglas, competing against the team from Lockheed, who produced, and eventually won the contract for the F-22. Here's a picture:
