Default Lotus Elise

so i finally saw a Lotus Elise up close today. DAMM, it was tiny. smaller than a mazda miata, actually, but it was gorgeous with its metallic grey paint job.

all I can say is screw the acura integra Type R and Porsche 911 i've been dreaming of after all these years. the elise is my new dream car.

When I went to "the dragon" New Years day there was a purple one and a yellow one.... wow! They were nice but you like right on the ground...literally.... but they sounded and looked really good.... but neither of the guys would let me drive the I got to sit in one though..... but the S2000 parked beside it looked pretty good too!

Yea, the Elise is pretty sweet and very tiny. But it rocks the celica engine from what I understand.
