I'm seriously looking at an atom 2. I'm actually bidding on one on ebay. :rofl: Anyone here driven one before? If I win I'll need to let go of my 07 STI Limited.
Yeah I'm going have to wear motorcycle gear just get groceries :rofl: I'll probably pick up a late year outback for daily drive
I've driven one on the track. PM me your # if you want to hear about it. I think I have a thread on here also about it.
Currently you can't get it titled in the State of GA. Check out the Atom Forums.... http://forum.atomclub.com/index.php/topic,5021.0.html http://forum.atomclub.com/index.php/topic,5336.0.html Good luck, I love that car. edit: this must be you... http://forum.atomclub.com/index.php/topic,6176.0.html
If you are bidding on the one from AZ, I'd wait. You can get them cheaper. All that CF bling is a waste of money IMO.
yep thats me. the one i'm bidding on is in FL. he can transfer the title and I would keep it as an AZ tag.
I know someone who has one and it is not street legal in Ga. It is purely a track car for him. He can easily afford a toy like that.
Haha ok i should install a coin machine on the fuel line :rofl: I saw some sick track day vids from the previous owner. he passed a z06 on a staightaway and made the z06 look like it was standing. Also he got black flagged a bunch of times for passing on turns haha
Yeah I can't wait. Maybe I should get a hitch on my STI and tow this sucker there. :rofl: I wonder if Siegal is skilled in the art of the RWD At the subaru challenge I was just punching throw those cones with my STI, I doubt driving the atom will be that easy.
thanks guys I used to complain how the STI lacks the creature comforts I'm used to. The atom is a PITA just to get in. If you don't loosen the 4 point belts before you get in you have to climb out adjust them and get back in. Maybe I'm just phat. :rofl: My STI is a luxury car now. Yeah, I need to know this car before taking it to the mountain. Yesterday I took my brother for a ride and somehow it felt a little slow. I could only lose traction in second gear. I'm thinking maybe he's adding some weight. 2 miles later I realized my parking brake was on when I started to smell the brakes!!! doh! I released it and it's back to the old atom again. I can break traction in 4th on a slight turn. I rarely go past 50% throttle or I'd lose traction. It's insane. I'm going to need help adjusting the suspension though. It think it's setup for the track and it's way too stiff for the street.
I could imagine the stares that you got! :drool: As your competition at the Suby challenge I think deserve the first ride :rofl: Congrats!
Every time I pulled into a gas station there was a crowd. A good number didn't know what it was but then the people who knew would "educate" them I didn't have to talk much. It was obvious my excuse was loading or unloading the kids.
that is sweet, i would have been following you home if i saw that on the trailer behind you on the freeway. Nice
Looks like monday and tuesday are going to be a beautiful day. I just need a place take it for a spin. Any suggestions? It's been so cold lately that it's been sitting in my garage. Sad. I don't have enough miles on it to know it's driving characteristics I need a track day or an autox event really bad
I've got an old cold weather motorcycle suit I'll sell for cheap if you're interested. ($50) I've used it for riding in high 20's temps.
haha maybe. I just came back from lunch with my wife. There was a huge crowd at schlotzsky's when we were great to leave. I couldn't help but smile when we climbed in :rofl: GA plates is a definitely no. You'll have to register in another state. I'm doing it in AZ. Don't do it in FL as I hear they make you pay sales tax even on personal transactions!
