I especially love the Mitsubishi eclipse front clip on that yellow car. $150K spent and you can't pick a little better nose for the car

This is going to be FUN!!
I admit I sound crazy.

And here's how crazy I can be.

I bought this Ariel Atom with not idea how I was going to get it registered for the street:



I'm the only guy to get one titled in Pennsylvania.


And then, even crazier, I sold it!

There were quite a few POC racers that had chopped roofs for aero in the late '90's and beyond. I'm sure they're still around, somewhere. The most successful was Alan somethingorother, the guy who printed the newsletter, that came out of 911 Design?

To further explain my craziness, it's not unlike this:
http://www.finecars.cc/en/detail/car...tml?no_cache=1
But with a 993 instead of a 356.

And I'm not thinking about touching my current C4S. I would use a salvage title car.

And another pic of the Atom I had:



It was a go kart! But with adjustable cantilevered shocks and coils, a removable steering wheel. It felt like a little formula car without its bodywork on.
And I sold it because of a measly little spinal surgery...
