I kinda like the idea of ebing surrounded my metal and have airbags, thank you very much.

Nice looking little thing though, is that the new Atom?

Clarkson called it the most fun thing he's ever driven; I've got to try one of those things out before I die.

I looked up prices for the Ariel Atom experience at a racetrack near the Chicago area, and prices were going for a few grand a day, unfortunately.

Is that the new Atom with the V8 in it? I can't even imagine driving a car that small with a V8 crammed in it!

You can drive it in Project Gotham Racing on the XBox! It is fast and handles great.

Yep. I tossed this on my list of "must haves" a little while ago.

I'd love to try a KTM X-Bow.

Bigger & heavier than an Ariel Atom but apparently just as entertaining.

You can try one out at their Ariel Atom Experience events. I did one at VIR last year. It's neat, but I decided to pass on purchasing one.
