My friend's uncle has a Ariel Atom in Ontario, actually it's in Toronto and he got to drive it, but unfortuantly he doesn't know how to drive manual so he was cruzing at the speed of 20km/h but as soon as his uncle got in and took it for a spin, he really got a rush, man I have to convince this guy to let me take it for a spin.

I hate people like this! Buying a car you can't drive. RAGE.
Can't complain though, lol. My brother capitalizes on that. He was telling me a story last month how this young adult (like, 20 years old) came in and my brother just started running his mouth. And this kid wanted a "sportier" looking car and wanted it to be stick even though he couldn't drive it, lmao. So they hopped in and went for a test drive and my brother was just upselling, "Oh ya, don't worry dude you're driving just fine, you're doing great for your first time, etetc."
He made the sale. Lulz.
DON'T BUY A CAR YOU CAN'T DRIVE. Makes you look like an idiot.
I CAN drive and I don't get the cars. =[

What company does your brother work for ?
I guess I kinda see why you like cars, maybe it runs in your family. It does in mine well at least in the mens side.

Nah, it definitely doesn't run in my family. XD
My brother went to college for biotech or something, and didn't get to complete it because he couldn't find a placement due to the recession. I think it's just temporary. I wouldn't know, I don't talk to him unless I'm forced to.
My dear, sweet Gregory,
go take a long walk off of a short pier. XD

I'm also not that big of a fan of the new GTR to be honest, however I'm a HUGE fan of the previous skylines (R32-R34), have personally seen quite a few number of R32s in toronto, mostly around markham to be exact and for some reason lol, whenever i hear the new GTR being called a skyline, I get really annoyed because the new GTR is not a skyline another reason being that the GTR was already considered a supercar, like it's not even in the same class as the skylines, basically the skyline is the one that started it all, brought the GTR symbol worldwide, though this is just my opinion lol and yes if I had the money, I would definitely get an R32 since the R34 is not close to being 15 years old yet but once the R34 reaches 15 years old..gotta save up for one!

I loved the SL65 once and still do. But it is a silly silly car! So much torque generated and not enough traction to put it down properly! Especially on roads! It gets soo much roadspin!

The Brabus SV12S Roadster is better than the SL65 AMG Black in my opinion. Mind you, this is the OLD version in this video. The new one is even more powerful and has a better Diff and Suspension. It also can actually retract its roof! So you don't lose the ability to drive around on a hot summer day with the top down like you do with the SL Black.

Driving the top down on a car is nice but even if I have the sun roof open, the hot sun rays aren't as pleasant as having the sun beam in from the windows while still have the A/C on. I haven't really drove a car convertible car but if you go faster to get the wind in your hair, like highway speeds then doesn't it mess up your hair or cloths or something, i mean yes it would to cool air rushing but I think it has to be specific cars that are allowed to be convertible like Porsche and Ferrari's because of how low the seats are and how high the windshields are. Ex. if the RR Drop Head Coupe isn't a pleasant experience with the top down because of the car itself according to the reviews I have read.
