I sort of understand that Lotus had to do something big for their “allow me to reintroduce myself” play, but this doesn’t make much difference in the greater scheme of things until we get a $50,000 500-hp electric neo-Elise or the like.

BoJo and Trump are utterly different - one is a cunning, eloquent narcissist and the other is a hateful, racist troll with senility- so it is such lazy journalism to equate them. But then US journalism (and, frankly, most US culture) keeps finding fascinating new lows of ignorance and laziness.

Such a freak occurrence, dying from massive brain damage in boxing. How does something like that happen? So strange.

“flawless" perhaps in that he isn't dead, but still mind-bendingly shit stupid. 

Nah man Corbyn is toxic now. I honestly honestly love the guys policies for the country but the way they’ve handled genuine antisemitism in the grassroots movement is awful. Even from a purely optics standpoint the man is unelectable, they need a new leader. I’d rather a more centrist Labour government than a Tory one…

Christ what a hysterical rant.

at least a dozen otherwise fine people who seem to have never flown before

A normal-height hatch or wagon will do all those things while handling and riding better. And being lighter and more efficient. I see no need for the stilts.

which Lotus says will have almost 2,000 horsepower and more than 1,200 pound-feet of torque

Well, I can tell you one thing for use - the new Corvette wont look as good as this.

0-100 in 9 seconds seems...slow, right?  I mean a Ferrari Enzo was doing it in 6 and some change fifteen years ago.

I absolutely love the lines but this looks like a goddamn Logitech Harmony remote. 

Is it a true Lotus? Debatable.

That bumper sticker in the lede really riles me up. No, UAW, stop lying to your members - it was the government, over two administrations, that dumped $51B into GM (not including GMAC) and saved their asses. Net loss to taxpayers was $11B.

No, he would have been in the wrong for not de-escalating the situation so nobody got hurt. He did what we hope all cops will try to do; he found a way out of a deadly situation without anybody dying.

It’s standard at federal offices now. The SSA office near me has a full metal detector and 5 armed guards set up, with all the SSA workers behind bulletproof glass. The private agency that administered the federal heat assistance program (LIHEAP) had an armed guard in the waiting area. It’s as crazy as it sounds.

Those tires are also constructed much differently than a street tire. This is an absurd comparison.

And as you said, these are mandated, not chosen by the teams for ultimate performance.

Big wheels are a necessity because people keep buying huge cars with huge wheel wells. Stop buying stupid and bad cars. 

Or I could pay a fair price at local butcher.

Ugh, these “deals” are terrible. I hope that GMG is making enough off of this crap to keep them afloat.
