i never understood driving exotics through manhattan, wouldent a group of "thugs" just walk infront of your car, pull you out and take it?

not sure if its been posted already but people dont like to steal objects that stand out.

you steal that thing, you will be caught in 5 mins top. its like trying to steal a mercedes SLR or a ferrari enzo. they just bring too much attention.

there is a guy down the street from my shop with one of these, seen it upclose, retarded fast, he flies down our road with it. it's probably an easy 3 man lift light, looks really light.

Looks like two douchebags that have too much money. Looks like an acute case of midlife crisis. Nice pic anyways.

looks like someones jealous because they don't have the successful life those guys have.

would be pointless. From the look of the picture the thugs would get in the car and either sit in traffic until the cops get to them or realized they failed and just run/walk away.

Tiger, I hate you. I'm glad I read the entire thing before posting, because I really wanted to post up a picture of the Atom and say "I'd rather have this than the T-Rex"...

Focker

Ariel Atom is such a fun little ride

Plus the European 300HP version is 0-60 in I think what, 2.9 flat??? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
