I know this isn’t photography related, but it is MORE tan worth posting (IMO).
I walked out of work to go to lunch today, and I see his! I think it wanted to follow me home!… 

Seriously though… For those that don’t know, this is the Ariel Atom. I know all about these, and LOVE them, but never thought I would actually see one in person. The thing is beautiful! I saw the guy when he left, helmet and all, and this ‘kart’ is quick! I would just about kill to take that it around a track a few times, or maybe just down 2222 for you austin guys! I would even let him *gasp* hold my camera! Yea, that might be the most fun/serious/obnoxious/coolest/sexiest/masculine while feminine/under-appreciated/over-powered/blatantly intimidating/subtly inviting/beautifully balanced/all around awesome vehicle on the planet.  300hp, 1000lbs’ish, Power-to-Weight > and Enzo!, 2.7 seconds to 60mph, 0-100-0 mph in 10.88 seconds, and it will rip your face off above 100mph… My thoughts, simply said: “Wow”!

On to the pics… These were taken w/ my phone – G1, not the 30D. Next time I see him/that Atom, if ever, I am going to ask him if I can take some *proper* shots of it.  (and yes, I know I am waaay too excited, and you guys probably see these all the time, but I don’t, and cars are my passion, so this is awesome for me!) …
