Yeah, I especially like his cheeks back around his ears!   ;)

IMO, Top Gear is the best automobile show.  I wish Speed Channel still carried it.

You can buy the Ariel Atom in the states now but it's a little different then the UK version. In the UK the Atom is powered by a supercharged Honda Civic Type R motor. The Civic Type R is not sold in the states because of it's lack of emissions control. You can legally get one here but you have to change quite a bit and dumb down the power. It's pretty much a Civic Si after that. Because of this, the Atom in the states comes with a supercharged Ecotec 2.0L. The base model of which is found on the the Chevy Cobalt.

Or you could take your moms car, and fit a Suzuki GSX-R engine where the passenger-seat was.
It will still look like a skiboot, but it will outsprint a ferrari.
