If you guys aren't enthusiastic enough to a) show something resembling love for this car (are there really too many open-air crackheads like this around? hell no) and b) show your personality, for better or worse, on a first date, you deserve to drive a 1982 Cavalier for the rest of your life, as that's fitting condemnation for keeping automotive love in the closet. Yeah, I went there.
Frivolous body work. If you're going to drive something that absurd, it should be the Ariel Atom, because nothing [street leagal] can touch the performance.
Besides, any girl riding shotgun would be screaming to let her out immediately, or commanding me to stop acting like an idiot. So, I guess that second seat could be considered frivolous too.
@Robert F.
Somehow I don’t think the gay - straight - bi - thing is the defining variable here.
Agreed.
I like KTM, their bikes, their engines, etc. But something about the thought of taking this one on a first date, well, it's just SAD!
Maybe it's the photo, but it looks like a Chinese knock-off of the Batmobile, sold at your local WalMart. [Insert oblique reference to Ambigously Gay Duo* - Ace and Gary - here]
*not that there's anything wrong with that...
That's not a car, it's an oversized go-kart!
FWIW: I took the lady who is now my wife out for our first date in a 1981 Escort Wagon (this was in 1988, so it was already 7 years old!). Now, if a marriage can spring from such humble beginnings, there is hope for even Colbalt owners!
