Well Boys, I went out and decided to get something a little off of the beating path, I purchased and '05 Lotus Elise with the sport and touring package. I can't believe how much fun this little car is. My car is silver with red interior and black exige wheels.



I have been searching for another pristine 968 cab. with no avail. So, I just happen to come across this car and fell in love.



I hope you guys won't flame me too bad.

Serious jealousy issues here...hope you enjoy your new ride!



Speaking of new toys....VERY early Miata, and lots of goodies (Jackson Racing, Brainstorm roll barand spoiler, Panasport Wheels, etc...).



Now I get to be a ricer and a serious enthusiast <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

I will get some pictures shortly. The ride is not as bad as you think. I am more concerned about the car's height. The front clearance is 4.5 inches. I will have to have a tire account, the Yoko A048's are good for about 5000 to 7000 miles, less if you track them.



The maintanence is fairly easy, oil changes can be done in the garage with cheap wal-mart ramps. The car I purchased had the 7 year 70k mile extended warranty so I guess I am worry free. The down side is the closest Lotus dealer is 220 miles from me in Atlanta,GA.

Excellent choice! I thought about it myself especially since prices came down quite a bit on the '05 model. So are you hanging out at www.elisetalk.com now?
