I know I said no pornography on this blog...

...but I couldn't resist. The Speed Channel used to air reruns of a couple of automobile shows from the UK called Fifth Gear and Top Gear that were always pretty fun to watch, and were nothing like the yawners here in the States. So I was pretty giddy when I found these videos from an episode of Top Gear highlighting the Lotus Exige, the hardtop souped-up version of the Elise. If I were less classy, I'd insert some vulgar comments about sexual climax about now. Instead, I will just say, I really enjoyed these. It corners like it's on rails! Take a peek:

And if you're looking for something with a bit more polish, here's a video of the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, which isn't too shabby either:

That was boring, offensive, and lacking in substance. Those guys were twits. The Exige vs. Apache stunt was the equivalent of the Superman vs. Mightymouse debate in Stand By Me.

"Well, unlike the American millitary, we don't shoot our own."

HAHAHAHAHA. ha. Jerkasses.

Boring, offensive, lacking substance--I did say it was pornography, didn't I?

Perhaps you're not as obsessed with the Lotus as I am, but I still liked the videos, cheesy Apache stunt and all.
