Also, fuck this guy with a chainsaw.

You should build this yourself, convert your own car.

And if the dealer is really goddamn filthy, they can pressure a confused elderly person into buying it @ $50k.

“Seeing one of these now, usually with faded paint, missing a plastic wheel cover, and maybe some red tape over a cracked taillight lens, just fills me with a sort of uneasy sense that whoever is driving it has probably been through some shit and is in the process of getting it back together.”

There’s a dealership near me who does something like this to all new cars, too. Online, the car is advertised at familiar MSRP just like you’d find on the configurator. Then you go in, and on every single new car you’ll find a little bullshit price sticker stuck right next to the actual window sticker. You know the…

She kinda looks like a homeless person in disguise.

What would you call a man who loves to explain stuff, but does it without any hint of condescension, regardless of the sex of the audience? 

The first Gran Turismo would have been a lot harder for a 13 year old like myself without this 900hp-able 4WD crutch.

I mean, they put 235 wide tires on it all around. Maybe they found that lower grip is a little safer, more predictable? It will shred those things.

Yea this is probable. Still, I think TVR should make the investment and do the tests if they want to stabilize themselves. It would be a huge validation to Gordon Murray’s manufacturing process to homologate a car for sale in the US. I suppose production volume might be the real limiting factor, it might not make a…

I can’t freakin’ believe these guys.

The back story is total bullshit. Either this guy is full of it, or very gullible (dealer fed that story to him to off load a car nobody wanted at a premium. I’ve known them to do far worse.) Really it could go either way, but yea, total bullshit. Even the wheels, “made especially for the car in Italy” ... ROLL EYES

Side-facing exhausts, just behind the front wheels.

My wife would thumbs-up a lot of this. My guy version of this would be like:

This is the best looking Nissan small car in quite a while, I’d say. I’d buy one. SPEC-V IT YEEAAAA

No WRX, I guess lack of hatch, deserves the omission. No Miata, good restraint.

217mph top speed means that the car will be more interesting at all the speeds between 0 and 217mph. Speeds it might actually see on a track. This is vs. if it were geared and aero’d to allow higher top speed. It will probably be capable of insane cornering G’s at speed. Top speed schmop speed.

What I like about this, though, is that the people that they are actually driving out of the country couldn’t have voted to begin with. Illegal immigrants don’t vote (despite the fascists absurd claims otherwise.) Their legal buddies do, however. I wonder whether these atrocities might do well to motivate those folks…

I recall doing something similar in Richard Burns Rally. I thought - no way that’s a real thing. Well, wow, here it is.

I think I’ll second this one, CRV. Where I live, Honda seems to have a special foothold in the new car market. The CRV has to be the most common car on the road, the icon of this dominance. I picture every driver as being an ultra-oblivious 40 to 70 something, totally incapable of any sort of critical or original…
