Rented a Lotus Elise today with pics.......
 

It was my bday today so i decided to rent a lotus, and all i can say is wow, i love it. Its so much fun to drive, its fast, when you get to 5000 revs and then it kicks in again. Its so nice. Handles really well too. I will def be buying the Exige 204s when i have the money. They only had the elise to rent today but it really exceeded my expectations.....

sweet bday.......how much was one day of lotus fun.......

Damn, you already went to Red Rock today? HAHA It's all good, I get to drive in it tomorrow!

Happy birthday but elise is :puke:

Happy B-Day English dude! :beerchug: Looks like you had a good B-Day toy :)
I like it with the hard top and no skunk stripes. In silver.

350 for the day so far... only 100 miles then .75 cents after for every mile.

ha yeah armin i had to take it somewhere, was going to go to the valley of fire but it was too far

^There ya go :)

I would of done the same thing, I can't blame you. Can't just rent it and have it just sit there. LOL Do you know it's quicker than the 8?

yeah lol i just went 0-60 very fast down a quiet road.... ill show you tomorrow :)

:jump:

wow i am suprised they let you take it out less then a week after your DUI crash. it is a beautiful car though, but not nearly as safe as the 8

Awsome! Looks like fun...:):)

How did you know about all that?

Rofl @ lesper

armxn, its in your regional thread

I figured, I just didn't know you go in our thread.. LOL

How does the shift knob feel in comparison? How does the engine feel? Does it feel like it's falling apart in terms of build?

Looks good. I'd hit it! ;)

Great choice. There's only one (new) for sale in my area, but I continue to drool over it!

good pics. how about some interior pics of the car?

user24 the shift knob i liked better, it seemed to go into gear a lot easier. The car is just a different class to the rx8. Its a straight up sports car.
I didnt take any pics of the interior to be honest

Shit I thought a bug was on my screen!:lol2:

Love the car! Happy Birthday btw...

That's sweet. I want to rent one but I'm sure I wouldn't fit in any Lotus (perhaps an Esprit...)

Please tell me you took pics of the lotus w/the 8 as well???


Happy b-day.

+1 to that

my 8 is in the body shop getting fixed at the mo, i intended to originally

how fast did you go?

The top speed on it was 185. I didnt go too fast in it tho.

so did u make it to red rock today??

thats aweseom! how much did it cost?

well the esprit has more luxuries in the interior than the elise, and with the same body. so you would probably fit better in the elise


but anyway happy birthday anthony, that looks like an awesome birthday present :)

it was 350 for the day. I didnt make it to red rock today, but i had fun yesterdy tho

I heard you can rent a Ferrari for 275 per day at Vegas...

well im sure they will charge blah blah blah for more though haha

but still lotus elise... is too hot

Epitome of a sportscar. Styling, power, handling all superb. My friend once rented a vette when he was younger and totalled it lol! He's a lawyer now but he was hating life for sometime.

My friend has one and it's a dream to drive, it's so fun! I wish I could have one as a second vehicle. They will come down in price, if I were a little smaller I'd probably own one. I'm not huge (6'1 195lbs) but the car is really tight for someone my size. My friend is like 5'8 so it works great for him.

a 360 modena is 275 for 45 minutes.....

they may say its only 275 but they don't give a time limit.

My dad wanted to do this for his birthday, it was 275 for the first 45 mins-1 hour. then 200 extra per hour, then 4 bucks per mile over 150 put on it. then you also have to pay them for the gas already in the tank when you receive the car. It is DEFINITELY expensive as fack.

its ridiculous, i didnt have to fill the gas up but i got 100 miles in it and it was 75 cents for every mile after
