Sorry to hear you took one for a drive. As I have warned a few others I think that Lotus should have a disclaimer about test-driving that says "Don't drive until ready to buy due to lack of ability to think about anything else after the experience!! One of the first magazine articles I read said "It will ruin you for every other sports car ever made" or something to that effect. As radical as that quote seems it really is true.
And I empathize with you driving by to look at the car. Since I was a kid I could just stare at the nice sports cars for hours and the Elise is truly a work of art. Pictures do not do these cars justice!
Good luck with your future purchase, keep reading this site and get help from the people here when you go to buy one. This really is a great resource. I have been able to learn so much and really enjoy the car more due to this board and the people here. I have never seen a question go unanswered or people here not willing to help out.
And if you are still not convinced that the 05 is the only year to buy just look at the pedal arms in any other year........just remember you may need to shield your eyes quickly and as Randy says......what has been seen cannot be unseen!!
