    Ebay FOTD

    Apparently the Ariel Atom is now U.S. state legal in most states. I would absolutly love to own this car. It epitimizes everything that I love about automobiles: speed, sound, excitment, man and machine, speed, style, freedom, and speed among others.

    Apparently a man who owned an ariel atom, F430, and assortment of other cars says is Atom is by far the most fun. I can imagine it is as the car is essentially a go cart with 245~300hp. Oh and to boot, it gets about 32mpg.
