    The owner of my favorite cigar shop has a RUF. Not sure what year. I stopped going to that shop. The heartbreak was just too much.

    It is 5.4 miles from my door to Ruf USA. I could see being a regular there if I ever get rich.

    And if I hit the lottery the ink would still be moist on the check when I went to buy...

    Clarkson in the Atom is hilarious! That clip is what got me hooked on that show. Good picks.

    I'm pretty easy to please*:

    Door #1: R56 JCW Cooper S Clubman (daily driver)
    Door #2: Upcoming MINI Coupe (garage queen)
    Door #3: Ariel Atom (midlife crisis)
    Door #4: Can-Am Spyder (for those awesome spring/summer days)
    Door #5: Multi-station home gym + treadmill and elliptical

    *(With money being no object, I would be using my Bugatti money to build a recording studio) :)

    Best Top Gear segment ever. I watch it every few months, then go check out how much it is to buy an Atom. Maybe one day...
