My first opportunity to see one up close. It's an impressive adult like go-cart!

A little too wild for my tastes, but I can appreciate the performance numbers.

Green looks weird. It looks like some kind of alien transport vehicle. Is this car in Halo 2 ? =)

Your RX-8 looks huge in the background. Is it really that much smaller than the 8? Is it Mini Cooper size?

Those Elises corner like go karts!

I almost traded the 8 in earlier this year for a 111R, but unfortunately had to reconsider due to the missus bitching about the financial situation.

These things are so hardcore for the street that I even doubted my ability to use one as a daily driver, but man, are they fun!

If you get a chance, take one for a spin, you won't regret it.

It almost looks like you can park the elise in the bed of the truck next to it.
