My new best friend...
So I routinely park my vr4 next to a Stealth ES at school, today however, I decided to park in a different lot...and boy am I glad I did. After I had parked, I happened to look over and low and behold...an bright orange Lotus Elise...I'd never seen one before, but it was beautiful...I waited after class for an additional 20 mins, just hoping I could catch the owner in the parking lot and talk him into a race...but no such luck...regardless it still made my day.

Lotus Elise? Those a pretty awesome. Its probably a professor's car, my guess. They're soo light and nimble that the 1.8L celica engine propels that little thing like a beast! Not sure how it would fare against a VR4. I think the VR4 would have it in a straight line race, but around the track, i think i'd give it to the Elise (although the VR4 does have AWD). Tough decision, 2 awesome cars.
So you wanted a race? I would just want a ride in that car!

the Elise is alright I guess but its like 200 HP. I remember when I first saw it in Monaco, I was like "that thing looks like some bug outta Starship Troopers", they where running autocross and it was wooping ass untill the Catherham Super 7 showed up and killed it. those Super 7s, now thats a sweet ride!

Re: My new best friend...
the new elise looks gross (above pics) but the older elise is so much better looking.

Re: My new best friend...
Well the one I came across looked identical to the one above, except it was orange...and in person, I've got to say I liked it...it was tiny, but I liked it.
