This thought has been bouncing around in my head for a while, and I'm not getting anywhere. (I'm not very creative). If Erik and company were to design a car with innovations like on our bikes, what would they be? Any Photoshop wizards out there care to illustrate? Bill | ||

No your giving me nightmares. You just found a new way of using profanity on this board. | ||

If it were a 3 wheeler it would be something like this....    | ||

If it were a 4 wheeler it might be something like this...     | ||

hmmmmmmmmmm...lessee: a sportscar powered by a classic, old design pushrod, aircooled engine. Porsche, anyone? | ||
| Bomber |
I'm thinking something more like a smallblock Panoz | ||

No it would look like a Studebaker... Cause..... those of us who went to the 20th and got a tour of his old farm house, we saw at least 3 maybe 4 of those darn things spralled out around the outbuildings.. | ||

No it would look like a Studebaker So true! It's funny, but everytime I talk to Erik, I get him talking about cars. It's one thing that you can tell he enjoys talking about. Especially his old Vette and his Studebakers. James | ||

Hey I didn't know he was into Studebakers! My dad was a Studie truck fanatic, we were in the process of beginning his '47 truck project before he passed away. Now I'm going to finish it for him eventualy. | ||

Well, some of the answer might come from his daily driver, a Dodge SRT 4. | ||

That t-rex, or one like it was parked by us at daytona. My son got to ride in it. You couldn't have removed his smile with a belt sander. pretty trick. Go-cart like feelings of speed when your butt is so close to the ground. | ||

Who do I have to kill to get one of those Ariels? (preferably one with the formula 1 style wings)  | ||
| Jlnance |
He said in an interview that he would rather be Honda than Ferarri. So I'm thinking a Civic? | ||

Ah yes, the Ariel Atom 2. Starting at $35000US, exposed frame body. Very neat indeed! May God Bless the mother land.  | ||

Fiinally! That street-legal go kart I've been waiting so long for! AL | ||

You like these eh?  Rocket | ||

36k as a starting price isn't as bad as I thought. but the way I would want it would be quite a bit more. at least 60k or so with options and I'm stuck with auto transmission these days. So I would need a "special construction". ooooh paddle shift would work though. I can see it now. | ||

Who amongst us wouldn't love the Ariel, but...any day I would drive it (not raining or snowing) I could be riding my Buell. I'll just keep saving for a 2009 Challenger. Motor Trend has a feature on it this month. The show car is a 6-speed; the hood is carbon fiber; those flat black stripes are just unpainted areas on the hood. I want one. Bill |
