“Dave is a shit commenter, not that much above hitler. When are you gonna do an expose on hitler?”

Of the cars you listed, only the Cayman is offered in a manual and in the US. The 4C was also closer to the Elise / Exige. It seems like Lotus is aiming this squarely at Porsche by offering slightly more HP and slightly less weight for slightly less money. 

This is quite possibly the most bizarre thing to appear on the inventory.

Yeah, I was thinking of what I would do if I was Mercedes, and I think I would probably do a PU swap this week or next week and take the grid penalty. Lewis is running a 3-legged dog as long as Max is on a fresher engine, it’s better to take a hit on a single race then try to hold him off with such a small points lead…

Swapping the power unit and still getting 2nd in Sochi definitely gives Max a considerable advantage on paper. You gotta think Max will try to take the next 3 or so races to lock up a win and Mercedes will run their current PU as long as they’re in contention, so they’re running a worse car with a worse engine but a…

This is incorrect. Lando would have had to pit a lap before Hamilton to lock up a W. If he goes in on the same lap, it’s a race between pit crews. If Lando waits a lap, he still loses.

I believe it was stepped and 5000 GVWR still qualified for most or 3600# curb weight. Don’t recall specifically

This is correct. The RX300 was the prototype for boring crossovers because it was engineered to be large and heavy enough to qualify for work truck tax breaks, despite being a Lexus (and a damn fine one). It debuted at a time when gas anxiety was low and the economy was high, and a generation of kids raised in cheap…

Lol epics letter says “we’ll play by the same rules as everyone else, assuming you interpret the court order the way we’re instructing you to in this letter”. They didn’t agree to shit. “Like I said - I’ll watch your dog for free as long as you buy me a car to get to your house.” FOH. 

I’m pretty sure that was only the model years before the V10, but I’m not checking because I’m not buying one anyways. 

It’s a fine car but it’s not quite as passionate or exotic as a Ferrari or Aston Martin or a R8 (though I am looking for a 2+2 since I got babby now)... and it’s speed doesn’t compensate for its other shortcomings. I have an RX-8, it’s not a nice enough bump for me to spend that sort of money over keeping this. 

They’re not coming down until gas availability becomes an issue, and maybe not even then. At this point you’re rooting for a stock crash. That’s all that’s bringing those back to earth. 

They were about $100k 18 months ago but man has that ship sailed. But you’re also paying that premium for a car that’s considerably better, faster, and is much closer to the pinnacle of ICE tech. It’s a premium over sticker for this car, not a premium for the MSRP of a R8 V10 6MT though

I’m in the market for a “fuck it YOLO” ICE send-off car, and this isn’t insanely out of the question. But assuming a Lotus is a $100k investment is... questionable at best. Having said that, good luck finding something else with this sort of performance and pedigree for much below that price. It’s priced fairly and…

He could have just as easily sent the test payload into the sun with him behind the wheel

A neighbor of mine in NYC always bought and sold two cars (to friends/family): SX4's and 2-door RAV-4's, because they were both super reliable and practical city cars (seriously, he owned 4 different 2-door RAV-4's at the same time at one point, including a bonkers rare 2-door manual soft top which he wouldn’t sell me…

Yeah demanding better access to consoles but also a price cut after the tariff mess when nintendo already cut their margins and moved their production is some peak gamer logic

The etiquette of driving is a social compact where drivers are supposed to behave within a generally accepted window of behaviors. Right now with human drivers vastly outnumbering robots, the robots are expected to behave like the humans. When robots eventually outnumber human drivers, the etiquette will change to a…

There’s a number of assumptions you’re making here and I’m not sure they’re entirely accurate. If no one functionally could ever turn left in a major city it would slow down traffic because eventually the people waiting to turn left would overwhelm the intersection. If you have 5 cars queued on each side of an…

I saw the headline and said “if it’s not millennium jade and MNP then ain’t shit special about it... fuckin Nissan”. Well played.
