My brother will have a blue lotus elise in either late feb. or early march. It is going to be so sweet. We have a RX-8 (mine), a nissan 350 Z (mothers), a lotus Elise (brothers) and an escalade (fathers) all parked infront of the house on holidays. That is going to be nuts.

Yogurt's too heavy. Maybe room for some celery or a baby carrot.

Anyway, I love that car. Especially, in the darker colors. The game they played on Top Gear with the Exige and the Apache was cool to watch. :D

I figure he/she would be used to it. I got a lot of that treatment when I was driving my 8 back in July '03. I tried to be respectful and not take shots of the interior, I wanted to though, seemed like the driver had a bag of some sort in the passenger seat.

Doods, that thing is small, it's an adult go cart. Yes, small like a cooper, no joke. The interior is very spartan and direct to the point. Just what you need to drive, no extra frills, though the CD player is standard from what I remember seeing on top gear.

Yes, it's pure 100% Colombian un-cut sport car. But you can't use it for anything else. If you have the spare cash go get one, but expect to have "other cars" to do your day to day activities. :D

As soon as I pulled up, that's exactly what I was thinking, what's that thing doing at a supermarket. :D After admiring it for a few minutes I went into the store and discovered they were basically tearing it apart, the place was almost empty and they were just selling the left over food scraps, it was closing down. I don't think the Elise and the store closing was a coincidence.
