New Atom Owner

**chicknfeet** · April 13, 2012, 03:45 PM

Hello All
Just wanted to take a few minutes to say HELLO! I recently became the owner of a 2011 Atom K20 purchased from a AAC forum member.
Hoping to get the car picked up sometime next week, and head out for a long drive.
Looking forward to meeting some of you soon. (Located In Sherman Oaks CA)
Eric (cHicKnFEET)

Thanks Ben... I purchased a CA legal Atom 3 from a private party who has the car stored at Sector111
Wish I could get the car right away but I'm so busy until next week

Ben I see you have sides on yours do you recommend them?
Thanks all

Wish I could I will be over seas all of May... Fontana is a great track

wish I would have made time to pick it up friday what a great day to start driving.

How many Atoms are local to the Los Angeles area? I use to see one all the time when I lived in Santa Clarita and have seen a few at Autobook in Burbank.

Thanks for the warm welcome

I find running the side panels seems to help with 2 things for me--keeps less buffetting in the cockpit and though seems crazy helps keep the cabin free of some debris presumably picked up by the front tires. I run the panels all of the time. Also, i have my inspection and registration stickers attached there as well.

Congrats again,

Ben
