They also say the new R8 is 40 percent stiffer, 30 millimeters lower, and weighs just under 3,300 pounds. There's also new performance settings and an all-new electric steering rack to replace the old hydraulic system. Seven-speed dual clutch only, no manual this time, sadly.

"This is it," may be very true, if Lotus doesn't get a cash infusion soon. Very sad!

I'd return to the state of virginity for a club of this caliber in my hood. This is better than sex with Burt Reynolds on the hood of his big bad Trans Am.

How about an article on the command guided rounds that this gun fires...The low cost per munition is pretty incredible. Self-guided rounds are a stones throw away. It's a bad time to be a bad guy.

Tesla, today, is very similar to the Apple of 30-yrs. ago. They may be a resounding success or may fall victim to the "Compaq / Gateway Computer Trap." Though I think at this point they've safely diversified themselves with their infrastructure and energy storage technology, which some value more than the vehicles…

Oh come on man, just try it for a few weeks and then we'll all hook you up! James Robertson style!! :-D http://www.gofundme.com/l7girc

The technology and performance here is AWESOME!! I get the design and the demographics Tesla is after, but the interior and exterior design is starting to show its age, quite quickly. The Model 3/III can't come soon enough!

It's by vehicle. Yes, some people do end up purchasing 2nd vehicles for that very purpose!!! But, it does appear to foster commuting, especially amongst families and neighbors. Seems to work, to some degree at least...

ATSR, you could not be more wrong...period.

They're not antiquated. Based on personal experience, I can assure you and they are better than 95% of the roads in the U.S. Since the eradication of FARC, Colombia is no longer the terrorist controlled country it once was. Compared to Los Angeles or Detroit, Bogota is a utopia. They also have some of the most forward…

This is beyond grotesque. Just FYI: The US Department of Justice (DOJ), under the direction of Eric Holder, has an open and expanding investigation into the mishandling of these violent sexual assaults. It may go nowhere, but at least it's one-step in the right direction. This is criminally common and brutally sad.…

Yes, agreed! And they'll happily hold all of the crappy furniture I can give away to my pals, or at least begrudgingly, they will. Oh, if that couch could talk...300k miles and counting...

I just hope this isn't the platform Nissan uses to justify their "race inspired" front-wheel drive cars (at least mostly FWD). With that said this is freaking awesome!

It hasn't moved for at least 5-yrs. (that I'm aware of). I have dozens of photos of this, (I'll post a few later this afternoon) floating just just north of the Coronado Bridge in San Diego Harbor...Deck seems to be in "okay" shape. For $180k, it's an absolute steal!

Strongly agree with you Will...very tragic. At least the FDRs were quickly recovered and some managed to survive. Sad day for aviation.

I wonder if the Mondial will one day be regarded as a classic, of sorts. It's not pretty, but the older it gets the less ugly it becomes. Sort of like my monthly savings account statements...or so I wish.

I was a professional athlete in the very late '90s and during the early '00s. I did not use PEDs during competition or training, period. Though, sadly, some of my closest friends did. Most (but not all) of them never tested positive, to my knowledge. Rather, some were the subject of "analytical positives" which they…

Aero kits be damned! I wouldn't want these ugly mutt-mobiles ruining my Brazilian manicured racetracks either. They're hideous! Respek Brazil!

Staz, you bring up a fair point. But, all maintenance (separate and apart from what Subaru themselves conducted) was performed and documented by a close family friend who owns and operates an independent service shop.

That's a great idea and one I too thought of. I suggested Subaru take that unbiased approach, rather than relying upon a "visual inspection." The dealer refused as did Subaru of America, Inc. Unfortunately, Subaru drained all the motor oil left in the engine so they could measure it. Much of it vaporized and/or was…
