Ahem... I feel a need to defend myself here....

Age is subjective. I am 41 and have met many 20 year olds that are "older" than myself. I think it's when you allow life to age you and beat you down.
Having said that, middle age may not be as fun as being 20, (sigh) but I have to admit that it opens a lot of new and more expensive doors. It's a good compromise IF, and only IF you keep a young mind.

Sooo... I'd go for an Ariel in a heartbeat. Actually, I do plan to find out if it can be California legal. I'm just the sort of old fool that gets real pleasure out of machines like this. And it's doable.... less than a good Benz. Man, that Ariel would be my weekend toy for sure. Who needs Viagra??

Life is short, live it. I don't plan to leave a pretty corpse.

Did you guys hear the end part? It is quicker than a Carrera GT around their makeshift track.

Damn. I want one of those just for around town. I'd legalize it by putting on break lights, turn signals and all that crap...
