"I guess the pilot wears noise canceling headphones."

How the fuck is this art?

My question exactly! The new Elise/Exige isn't federalized, as I understand...so maybe this car will be built on the old chassis? It's academic, really, because I doubt it'll be built at all!

Curious to see if this means anything for Caterham F1, as they currently use Renault power....though I have a feeling this might be the last year they're on the grid anyway.

Well...duh.

Actually, (sadly, perhaps,) Native Hawaiians are a minority in Hawaii these days. And while it in NO WAY justifies being belligerent and rude like this lady here, as a people unfortunately they suffer a lot of injustice and inequality, much like black folks in a lot of other big cities.

Where did this person think they were going to go? Rallying?

Exactly correct I think. I think it's a something of a kiss of death once less known/less pedigreed sports cars start creeping into Porsche 911 money. If you're about to throw down 100K for your next ride, there are a lot of good choices to choose from once.

A friend in law school (now a lawyer) told me that if the pedestrian steps out into the road NOT in a crosswalk and gets hit by a car, it is in fact entirely the ped's fault. Not only that, in my state, at least the pedestrian can be held liable for any damage to the car caused by them getting hit. Seems sorta brutal…

Seems Nissan has been really smart by aiming at the fleet market. Read a few days ago here on Jalop about how the 4-cylinder Frontier is selling like hotcakes too.

As a guy who makes his living fixing cars, I just have to starting the car up and running it without thoroughly looking it over for damage first is a HORRIBLE idea.....as evidenced by the huge puddle of coolant (hopefully) or oil (hope not :( seen after the car drives off.

Thanks for your support! I'm 6 foot 4 and I can just barely fit in a regular airline seat, with my knees basically at the seat back in front of me. If I were any taller or even slightly overweight, it would be horrible. So I agree 6 foot 5 would probably be a horrid experience.

Looks pretty good for just wingin' it! Don't know why they went with the enourmous wheels that stick out well past the rest of the body though...it'd look much closer to the real thing if they were sized right.

Watched this happen during the coverage and was waiting for Deadspin to weigh in...I didn't think the questions were out of the ordinary, but I was disappointed how long NBC stayed with the shot of Miller crying with his head in his hands. They'd already got the reaction they wanted during the interview, it seemed…

Are those that rare? When I was a valet parker in San Francisco I drove these pretty regularly....Exactly like you'd think—a minivan with a really lovely interior!

Thanks, great info here, TheCrudMan. Your comment is what I was hoping to find when I clicked on the story. I was pretty disappointed with the seemingly random and explanation-less list above, so thanks for making up for it.

I live in Hawaii and a couple of these places have popped up...at least one that's a food truck!

Is that a tractor-trailer bus? It looks like it to me...

I agree, clearly you can find much better deals in Europe. But I'm sure that getting a car imported, through customs, and registered is not for the faint of heart. A car that's already here and legal is appealing I'm sure.

All the comments so far seem to be about heads of state and such—people who don't drive themselves for security reasons.
