Excellent surfacing over ugly proportions. Look at the F1 or 650s on how to design an elegant C-pillar, not the 458 or Huayra.

Is that SS in Bolingbrook?

The area around the C-pillar & rear haunch is appallingly resolved, as in the 458 — almost as if a 12C was stretched at the rear axle, leaving everything fore of the firewall intact. As a case-in-point of this, compare the S2 Lotus Exige to the Venom GT, which is truly just a stretched example of the former:

Took me a minute to realize that the title is not a Borat reference.

“Ask and ye shall receive, albeit not Sniff Petrol.”

“One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury, or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him.”

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LAMBORGHINI UPDATE THE COROLLA-SPEC AIR VENTS THAT’S ALL I ASK

+1. Actually, +2 for the Exige.

Just a photoshop job. Check out their other designs. Not exactly my cup of tea, but it’s quality work.

Nej. Funny thing is, every time I travel around the country in a 240, I end up meeting at least one person who’s owned multiple (and usually 3+). Last month, at a stoplight, I met a guy who owns 5.

Absolutely correct. Although two of them were purchased 20+ years ago by family members, so they started it. Being a gearhead in a family of Volvo owners never ends well.

I’d be willing to trade but, alas, mine all have auto windows and no useful trim pieces to spare at the moment. I suppose I’m better classified as a 240 collector until I actually begin work on my project car.

The wonderful thing about this idea is that it can be repeated indefinitely, and is the savings will only multiply. That’s why my Volvo 240 has a parts-car 240, and my parts-car 240 has a parts-car parts-car 240, and my parts-car parts-car 240 has a parts-car parts-car parts-car 240, and my parts-car parts-car…

You made the right decision. I wish I hated mine just a bit so I would stop wanting another one or three. I’ve driven a number of sporty, more-expensive cars, but nothing has ever come close to the Elige this side of a motorcycle or open-wheeled racer.

Addictive, no? Similar story here, though with an Elise. I couldn’t even drive stick at the time I bought it, but it gets better every day.

Well, first I bought it. This without seeing one for years prior or ever sitting in one, let alone driving one. On top of that, it was the largest single sum of money I’d spent on anything at that point.

The video is 9 minutes and 18 seconds long.

Oh no, story time: My two most terrifying experiences in cars did not involve high speeds on a race track or inclement weather on the street. No, they involved those two cars pictured above, driven at a normal European pace around crowded downtown Athens at night. Now, I understand the desire for small cars in urban…
