Atom Newbie

Arrived about noon, and the good news is 1) I can fit in it, 2) it started right up, and 3) it runs like a scalded ape:

Kinda lousy pictures....I'll take some when the lighting is better.

Was there ever any doubt? I believe even John Candy could fit in an Atom. (may he rest in peace..)

Yes,the Atom is a joy to own and run..

That garage is much too clean....

Looks like the Atom has found a good home.

Well, my shop is not so clean:

That's where most of the actual work takes place.

Haha, you call that dirty? I dont see tools strewn all over the floor. And I can see the original color of your vice

**Axecent** · November 6, 2011, 07:40 PM

It's a new vice.

**MadMaxAtom** · November 7, 2011, 04:50 AM

It must be new..not even bolted down..

Progressive won't write it. Chubb won't give me a quote unless I transfer every car, motorcycle, 4 wheeler, home, rental properties, etc. over to them. Rally is still in the hunt, I guess....still waiting on them to come through after receiving a quote back on October 30th. I talked to them again today, and I hope they will bind coverage. Anobody have an actual agent that KNOWS this coverage and is willing to write me.....I have a perfect driving record, never been sued, lived in the same place since 1978, etc. Once I get coverage, then I can move on with the titling and registration in Texas.

I can't give you a definiitive answer but in Texas you have an option to bond with the state and you don't have to carry basic liability. You post a 55k bond for basic insurance and then carry your umbrella for the large claims. Then you are essentially self insured for claims less than $55k. At least that's what I did............
