You said the Lotus Exige is a ruined Elise. Your opinion and therefore existence is null and void. Dismissed.

Maybe you haven't taken a look at recent Elise prices. 2006 Elises in the 20k miles are going for mid 30's. http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f94/200…

Nice price. 2006 Elises are about $35k for that mileage. For the quality of the engine swap, it's a relative bargain. Also, the 2zz is actually a relatively shit motor and pretty unreliable despite people's blanket assumption that Toyota powertrains are bulletproof (premature camshaft lobe wear, oil pump failures,…

Well for example, what's the honest benefit of comparing NASCAR to F1? They're different disciplines and should be appreciated individually. You can't even make proper comparisons between drivers of different F1 eras, let alone to other disciplines of motorsport especially those that race on different surfaces.

They are great cars. I had two. But didn't respect them enough and they bit me. But they're still great cars, though the E30 trailing arm rear suspension design can be a handful with that short wheelbase and powerful inline 6

Yeah it's fun to watch but it's really apples to oranges isn't it? No need to add the quip about putting other tarmac drifters to shame since it's a completely different car setup and driving surface. I think it's equally impressive from two different disciplines (rally vs drifting)

Why are you comparing rally driving and dirt slides to tarmac drifting? Honest question

Fitting that they used Pasta Marinara/Crashtor Maldonado/Pastor Maldozer's car. Chances of it being crashed as badly as a bungee accident are usually equal on a race weekend anyway.

I had this concept work in practice for me when I leased a 2010 Honda Fit for 3 years, limited to 10k miles a year. I regularly drove over that mileage limit though and at the end of 3 years had something like 37-38k miles, and facing a $0.10/mi charge.

Prophet of Pendatic

I spent a night in Botetort County Jail for doing 95 in a 65. I had a lawyer that brought the original 5 days to 1 night which become 1 afternoon on good behavior.

Yes BMW is trash especially the F30. Ultimate Shit Box

I've driven the Karma. I used to work there. I know everything that's wrong with the product, the company, the management, the politics.

Basically suck a fat cock, doc.

Now imagine he has an itch on his right arm or shoulder

I like how they dubbed the E21 V8 over the E22 V6T

I want to like Formula E. There's even an American team. An American team in an FIA open wheel motorsports category! But the gimmicks and the artificial racing/missed opportunities as mentioned in this article just make the whole series seem farcical before it begins.

I think that also gives a hint at another question above :)

Was the decision to enter buy an F1 team yours? Do you have regrets stepping into F1 or stepping out of it? Force India actually seem to be doing well for themselves, consistently ahead of McLaren and Ferrari

My guess is Evora.
