Not A Car You see Everyday...

I went to Home Depot a few weeks ago to pick up some paint and this is the car I see there. Not sure why he was there. It's not like anything from Home Depot will fit in his car, lol. Seats didn't look comfy, and seat belt pads were all dirty, but gosh I still want one!

Thanks, it was taken with my Sony Ericsson Phone. Do you know if this one has the K20 or the Cobalt engine? Those are the only 2 engines the Atom comes with right? I'm not sure..

I don't know about the motor on that one. I thought they came with the ecotec motors, don't know if that's what is in the Cobalts.

It would make sense to wear a helmet while driving that car, but you'd just look ridiculous. That is, unless you got a Simpson helmet like the Stig :)

Fast car owners must like hardware stores. I saw a Bentley Continental GT at Lowe's a few months ago. Those are probably dime-a-dozen in CA, but here in KY that'll sure get you noticed!

Maybe he was there to get a blowtorch, because that car is too cool.

Yes, the Exige, essentially an Elise coupe.
