Yeah, they are, I drove next to one in Houston. Got lots of pics. Nothing too special for $30,000. I have better ways of spending that kind of money, especially when I have my Cougar, hehe.

Nothing personal, but I'd take the Lotus over the Cougar. :p (but I'd rather have an Exige over an Elise)

I find myself yearning lately for another small car. Still haven't got used to this truck, and I don't get much time in the Mark anymore. While both my daily drivers are fun in their own ways, I always did get a kick out of abusing something vaguely Escort sized. I guess that's why I want a Fairmont or Zephyr so bad.. they weigh about the same as an Escort.

Saw a decent late '80s CRX today.. (not riced out, either) man, I'd even take that right now for a change of pace.

And the guy probably walked out and said "dammit, i park far away so these assholes dont park next to me!"
It's Gumby's fault.

Tell me you moved after you took the pictures. I'd have been pissed if I came out of the mall and saw any car parked next to me in a lot that has plenty of empty spaces.

I like the rear of those things but the front is just :yuck:

Hey Carl, having fun keeping those turbines clean? Front looks pretty dirty :giggle:

It was the Avenues, first time I went there. I did not know you lived in Jacksonville, I would have let you know.

Nope, I did not move and when I came back it was still there so I don't even think whoever owned it noticed. Also, if I remember correctly it had an officer DOD Sticker on the window and it is always fun to piss them off :giggle:

Yeah, the turbines were a little dirty because I had drove 150+ miles  after washing them. I might get some of those brake dust sheilds for them.

Nothing too special. I wouldn't say that, especialy if the guy desided to race you. It may be small but it will run circles around your car.

I love those Lotuses (Loti?). Don't get me wrong, a big car is nice, but sometimes it's also nice to drive something that, you know, actually BEGS to be driven. Hell, I even sometimes miss my old Saturn SC2, and I'd trade the Volvo for an Integra or RSX in a heartbeat. Small, light cars can be a hoot, and Lotus makes the smallest, lightest, um... "hootiest" ones around.

Better plan on replacing your rotors frequently. Those things keep the heat in and warp the suckers quickly. We called 'em "Rotor Wreckers" at the dealership I worked at.

I cant fit into a tiny car like that. Being 6'4'' and not being able to fit inside of a Pontiac Solstice to fix it, aint even gonna try. Doesnt bother me if it could run circles around my car, its all about preference. Im not a tiny sports car kinda guy. I like something with a little weight and a good sized engine, v8 or not.
