One of the coolest cars I've seen!

Posted on YouTube a couple days ago:
"This Lotus makes 680 wheel horsepower with a twin-charged 1.8L engine; giving it a better power-to-weight ratio than Mario Andretti's Formula One Lotus."

That thing is ridiculous. Saw it on drive yesterday. I'd love to see him open it up and get on it.

Maybe there's hope for the human race after all.

That Lotus + Advevo + Nurburgring would be fun to see.

To paraphrase Patton Oswalt's comments on Disneyland, this is the type of awesome thing that happens when you give people with OCD an unlimited amount of money for a project.

I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT I SWEAR TO GOOOD!

Were talking about car crashes, not being held at gunpoint by your ex in a tunnel saying why you left her at the altar.
