What? You sound like an over-sensitive white person. Nobody made mention of race, or insinuated he can't manage money because he's black (??)

Seriously. I hope someone sets him up with a sound financial advisor to keep the wolves away. This guy is going to have all kinds of "friends" coming out of the wood work to get their piece of his money.

You could buy Michigan with $300,000.

I hope someone sets this up as a trust and he's not just getting this dump of cash on him. He's going to get so abused by people trying to take advantage of his windfall.

Somehow this picture conjures up an imagined exhaust note that goes something like this: "EEEEEEEEEEEoooEEEEEEEEoooEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE."

Until someone makes a diesel ute shooting-brake wagon with a manual that does sub-3 0-60 and has Elise-like handling/response/weight with styling by Pininfarina AND can baby I don't think we'll see a 100/100. I think Torch needs to do a mock-up of such a beast.

Leadfoot.

That's me driving like, well, me.

Correct. I'll amend. Although here's what was on the sticker, hence the mistake:

How hard is it to swap a motorcycle engine into a car like this? I've always secretly kind of wanted to build a Trabant with a Hyabusa engine, but I would think the logistics of mating it to the transmission would be a nightmare.

My lord. The way it bounces along, it's like:

That's pretty good. Enough for me to forget about range anxiety.

Wrong.

I would guess take a Porsche 918, give it two more seats, more storage space, a softer ride, keep all of the performance, and charge $75k for it. That would probably score a perfect 100.

electrons are pretty badass.

Last tally I've done:

For the last few years my three have been: 911 GTS, 1st gen Elise, and this.

Thanks. Corrected. We had some server issues last night and my final edits didn't go through.
