@Tentacle, Dutchman, drives French: What I'm saying is making these pigs of cars and then making relatively light engines makes not a lightweight sports car brand. We've gone from an S1 Elise at 1600 pounds to this new 2015 Elise 800 pounds heavier.

@∞Gïmmï∞Mørgäikkøŋëŋ∞: I'm with you, regardless of engine weight these cars are still going to be chubby, and I'm not happy about that.

@Tentacle, Dutchman, drives French: Lotus doesn't want to keep the weight down anymore...

@British_Looks_British_Reliabil...: If it's a V6 or V8 the car as a whole probably won't be lightweight regardless of Engine weight...even the possible V6 Exige had to be widened just to cram it in there.

@WestMcLaren: Proton's rolling in Malaysian Drug Money, yo.

No thanks, I'll keep the 2ZZ four banger...

@Brandon Clark: Related to Marshall Eriksen eh? Sorry, I'm obsessed with How I Met Your Mother haha.

@whoshot: Hahaha, all right I get it, the car attracts douchebags, it really does. But I love it and hopefully I'm improving the reputation of M3 drivers?

@burn_2002: The owner of a popular local gym has a gray California. Great car, really nice guy. A lot of these stereotypes can be true but it's not fair to all drivers for wanting cars like these, all of which are extremely fast and extremely good overall.

@whoshot: I agree. You're right, they do have a lot of hair gel wearing pricks but it's a great car and I'm trying my best to not be a douche.

@SynthOno: Hey, I may be fat and hairy but I am not amusing.

@jaymcminn: Don't hate bro. It may attract douchebags but it's a hell of a car and I wouldn't give it up for a minute.

@Simplify, then add beer: I don't know if I'd be able to survive without Peanut Butter. I love you George Washington Carver.

And then they want gun control laws...actually, with pricks like these, I'll settle for a taser.

@Brandon Clark: 6'3" is pretty tall...I'm 5'9". You'd be surprised what 6 inches of headroom means.

@Carac: Damn. Nice ride, maintenance must be a bitch though.

@Maymar: Indeed it is. I'm sure it makes for a great cruiser though. And for humbling arrogant douchebags at stoplights too.

@HighHeadBlues: Hmm, that actually makes a little sense I guess. I guess the trick is to count sort of "down" rather than "up". It reminds me of a sort of "reverse" greatest integer or step function. Once you've broken a barrier, you're in that integer until the next number.

@HighHeadBlues: Oh, okay. I guess I'm thinking too mathematically in that I always round up in such instances. I just don't think it's fair to call something like a 9.99 a "Nine second car" because that's like saying a 5:59 is a 5 minute mile for some of my runner friends, and to me that's just "Under 6".

That's awesome. I only have 2 problems with this.
