Assistant editor Sam Smith just wrote a great story about driving the Ariel Atom. Have you seen the thing? You can hardly even call it a car! Read the story and tell us what you think of this glorified motorcycle.

Well, I'm sure it drives great, but it seems like that's all it does well.  It's completely impractical.  I'm not crazy about the way it looks.  I prefer cars with...um, fenders.  So basically, it's just a toy.  It would be hard to justify buying one (assuming you could afford it) to a significant other.  Not to mention one would need to relocate to a warmer climate to actually enjoy driving it.
