Lotus was building cars with a backbone chassis around this time. So it might not be as flimsy one might think:

I mean, there’s a reason why you hire an Italian dude to design your mid-engined sports car:

Didn’t Jalopnik recently run an article about how we weren’t supposed to say that we’d fuck a car? Because I’d fuck this car... while the tailpipe was still hot.

S2000, NSX, Miata, Boxster... ignoring the obvious stuff from manufactirers like Ferrari or Lamborghini.

You win the internets today.

I actually assumed it was some sort of accident when I read the headline. Now I assume it was a murder sparked by a violent argument.

There... fixed the headline for you!

Ah, sweet does this mean I can finally import a Subaru Impreza 22b?!?!?!?!

Don’t call them idiots. The word “idiots” implies what happened was accidental. These people are criminals, plain and simple.

What’s crazy is that it’s full of actors I’ve actually seen before in decent movies.

I would put the word “premise” in quotes. The “premise” is just an excuse for the “cut scenes” or whatever you want to call those moments when they’re not actually in front of the screen.

Was going to say exactly that. But to be fair, in this the movie is no different from every contemporary car commercial that wants to convince us that the car they are selling is “exciting.” You always see the the driver shoving the automatic tranmission into “D” mid commercial, as if that’s something people actually…

A hurricane is an act of God. Honda is not going to buy you a new car if a hurrcane destroys your car. That’s a question for your insurance policy.

Good to hear because a manual GLI is on my list of potential next cars. 

Like Vivek Ramaswamy these people realize that the one thing they can offer Republican voters that no white candidate can, is cover for their racism. As for the innocent, vulnerable people who are harmed... do you think they give a shit? I’m sure they’re crying all the way to the bank.

George Santos understands the GOP electorate well, and realizes that the only possible future he’s got, moving forward, is in right-wing politics. Republican voters are willing to forgive any crime, as long you you say the right things and are angry and vulgar enough when you say them. The GOP is the proverbial…

Naaah, this isn’t a misleading headline.

Bingo. No police department is going to spend the money it would cost to maintain these vehicles if they were seeing 10 to 20 k miles per year on actual patrol duty.

In this crazy market $15.5k is a decent price for a nice, stock, unmodified FRS with under $100k miles. This ain’t that. No dice.

Not all Americans are that stupid, but apparently enough that that was a viable strategy.
