i saw a lotus

I was driving today, and while stopped at a light, i was scanning the traffic and my eyes crossed this black car, i kind of jump and im like "Whoa" so i pull into the pontiac dealership it was sitting in i pull up behind it and get out, i read the badges and all, A lotus esprit v8. oh my it was beautiful. not sure on the year though. I know maybe some of you are probably like, big deal i see them everyday. But i live in a town where the only kind of "exotic" car that drives around is a corvette. ive never been close to a nice car like that. Man, i almost cried....i gently bent down and whispered in its window, you will be mine, oh yes, you will be mine.

I know the feeling....Corvettes and the occasional 911 are all that I see around here...so cars like that really excite me when I see them here. I've seen a Ferrari 348TS and an Esprit V8 around here, man I love those cars!

Same here, good cars are too rare. Toronto or Calgary is the best places I've been to. As for the the Lotus, I haven't seen a 1990ish or newer Esprit V8. I did see one like the one that Bond used in 'For Your Eyes only', except it was Black.
