Yeah, uh, make with some more details about how this thing fell into your lap...
Elitist, arrogant, intolerant, self-absorbed.

ok, did some work for a local Ducati mechanic. We agreed my fees would be taken in trade installing slipper clutch and tuning berg. While there, a guy who owns a FLEET, yes, a FLEET of superleggera's wanted his atom tuned. Well, 3 hours later we're flying up to Stinson Beach on Highway 1. It was epic! He drove up, I drove back and life was good for a minute or 2.


it's the Husaberg of cars. Too light, too powerful, too fun, completely impractical and yes, I must have one!!!!!!!

i'd be dead already if it were! From the heart attack caused by my inability to breathe given I spent every minute in it laughing, grinning and holding on for dear life. Fucking epic!!!! Now, for a guy who hasn't had 2 nickels to rub together in the last 2 years, I've driven a Aventador and an Atom 3. Not too shabby!

Juuuuust wondering ... a car like that ... what with the San Francisco parking mayhem ... would it fit in the bed of your pickup truck?
...
you know, there are kit-car versions of that ...

...

No, I don't want you dead. But like all here, who admire your rockstar lifestyle, living vicariously and all that.
