A government should not profit from penalizing its citizens - it incentivizes them to do so. There should be consequences for breaking the law, but when the average person is charged close to $100/year in parking tickets, then parking tickets are either too expensive, parking rules too unclear, or parking has not been…
but evidently not sons of Blitch’s.
At least manufacturers are seeing record profits from all these markups, so that they can put it back into RnD for future products, right?
And that, folks, is an allegory for Lotus’s future sports car ambitions.
I’m just here to complain about the fact that in a post about wagons, we see very few actual wagon parts - just shots of the front of cars that are the same as their non-wagon counterparts.
I always wondered why the GR86 got a name that harkened back to the Corolla rather than the Celica. It sure seems more Celica to me.
The vehicle that taped the incident was a bike?
I’m that douche. If you’ve ever driven around on a cold day with the top down and heater blaring (bonus points for heated seats), you’d probably be one too. It’s like being in a hot tub during a snow storm - it’s awesome.
All true, but they handle really well - arguably better than the Esprit of the era. A great handling, less reliable car - Lotus status quo. ;-)
When I was in my 20s and making bad decisions, I put a deposit down on the newly announced Lotus Elise - well before production (for the US model) began. Production delays were so long that I pulled my deposit and bought a house before the car I ordered arrived.
Z3 M Coupe. A skunkworks car produced afterhours by a team of enthusiasts that runs a true motorsports engine in a small, nimble, light-ish chassis. ...and it looks like nothing else on the road.
I would love to know what the hold up was - have never found a straight answer.
I generally dislike monochrome colors on cars & always try to get something with a color - any color. With that said, I challenge you to build a new, reasonably priced car in a color. Most manufactures just aren’t giving color options outside of monochrome, dark blue, dark green, and the occasional red. Recently,…
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that’s not a true Gemballa body. That’s the wish.com version of a Gemballa - complete with gold paint in place of the under-hood stickers and giant, flat fiberglass replacement front “bumper.”
Car commercials are the problem. Not movies or TV shows or amusement parks or drift events or video games or NASCAR or rallycross or ... or ... or ...
As of October 31, 2023, Blue Beetle has grossed $72.5 million in the United States and Canada, and $56.8 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $129.3 million. The movie was deemed a box office bomb and is the lowest-grossing film in the DCEU
You’d be amazed by how much money some people have, and what they choose to do with the extras.
It’s worth pointing out that the Lotus Emira is not yet available in the US - not until the end of this year (which, as the story goes, is related to supply chain issues). I suspect Lotus’s 2024 will look much better from a financial standpoint.
