Most on here ride motorcycles and G-Rex rides a hell of a lot more than most. That indicates less risk sensitivity than average to me. The average modern sportbike has similar performance to an Atom, only with even less protection. If I had that kind of money to spend on impractical toys I would have a supercharged Atom and a Caterham 7 Superlight R500 parked next to it.

If you've ever driven a Lotus, you know how much it sucks driving around town. Great on the track, but a real PITA as a regular driver.
IMO "gay" means heavy and focused on comfort, which is the Audi.

No no... The damn thing will break and kill you in the process. if you are going that ridiculous, go Radical rather than Atom.

And, don't get a Lotus unless you like fixing electrical.

The solution is the ultra luxurious and super sporty Ford Pinto.

So does a Caddy CTS-V not fit into this category?
I got my hands one of those for a weekend. Holy hell, I want one of those.

Na, if you want classic go Festiva.

If you want new and modern, talk go Gas, go Fiesta.

Spoken like someone who knows nothing about cars! Take a Cayman for a lap around a track one day and tell me if it's still a "chick car".

I just spent the day passing twin turbo Porsches and hanging with Gt2s and Gt3s. Even the Porsche guys don't recognize Caymans. I'll post a Watkins Glen vid later.
