Nov 18, 2008 - My local Honda dealer has a sign on the wall that says "Catching a yellojacket in your shirt at a hundred miles an hour can double your vocabulary." That applies to this car too. Ariel Atom, best toy money can buy.

Nov 20, 2008 - Imagine, you've payed a lot of money for your Ferrari Enzo, Porsche Carrera GT etc. ...and then, on a lovely Sunday morning on a lovely empty country road you meet this car that cost 10 % of the price of your car... That must be so frustrating!

Bigboi47 Says:

Nov 20, 2008 - Not really when it comes to some degree of comfort, things like a windshield, ac, stereo, a trunk to carry an overnight bag. The atom would be a blast to drive though and the owner of a super car can afford both cars.
