I like the thumbnail for the video, where you are shifting all fawnsay with your pinky out (I do it too, from time to time).

What a wonderfully raggedy old Lotus, I really love the Esprit.

THANK GOD IT’S NOT AN AIR COOLED PORSCHE.

Now re-edit your subaru 360 review, just replace the word “subaru” with “porsche” - they’ll have it up there in a heartbeat.

Secretly, it’s an air-cooled Porsche underneath.

That looks hella uncomfortable to drive lol. Badass car though.

No it’s pretty good actually... Fairly similar to C4 Corvette in term of sit comfort (a bit tighter though) but with a much better ride quality.

Ah gotcha. It just looked really cramped in the video, but guess that’s no different than the C4 either. Always wanted one of these things, too bad none exist in the States and I could never afford one.

I love these cars, this one looks especially fantastic. Haven’t read the review yet but I will.
