@DocSeuss: This is legislation, there are no room for facts here - only agendas.

See, that's funny 'cause politics has been linked to bloody deaths for thousands of years. The good congressman must not be able to see the forest for the trees, otherwise he'd probably outlaw himself.

@Slave2anMG: Which, incidentally, is the basis for Lotus' new hybrid drive.

@AMGkiller: Does ANY car manufacturer warranty clutches? Customarily, any component that degrades with reasonable use (clutch, brake, tires, etc) isn't covered, since people can over-use them.

Wait wait wait... so all it takes to turn a volvo into a race car in 60 days is a full race shop? Huh.

@glyphon: Nothin' personal, but I'm stealing that line for use in real life.

What kind of crazy are we talking, here? If it's "daddy issue" crazy, then that'll be a sebring or a bmw 318 - depending on income bracket.

@SpainIsInYurp: After I read your post, something felt... wrong. It took me a full three seconds to realize I was still shuddering in terror.

Thanks for linking this! I'm currently in the middle of converting my crashed Aprilia RS125 into an all-electric bike, so this is a nice glimpse into how people with... you know... funding and an actual shop are doing it.

Subaru, I have your answer: 6-liter, 8 cylinder boxer engine attached to a manual transmission. Make it look like this: [jalopnik.com]

Lotus Elise: from lustworthy lithe lightweight to frumpy, fat, Ferrari fighter.

You let me wear a top hat and tux, drive a 30's-style pimpmobile and command an army of ninjas.

BEAUUUUUUUUUTIFUL.

Wait wait wait... The Big Lebowski was based on The Big Sleep? I never got all the way through Lebowski, I might have to give that movie another chance.
