Turk, think about this for a minute. If you convince her to get the Lotus and it takes a dump (more likely than not), you are on the hook for it 100%. Even if she does not say anything, you're still in the doghouse.
Get her whatever 70-80's 911 she wants. Just be thankful she has good taste in picking out the car of her affection. That vintage 911 are nice looking, you can get a very nice driver for not much $$$ and they are pretty easy to work on. The best part is if it take s dump on her, it won't be 100% your fault. If you wrench on it it might be 99% your fault, but she'll still forgive you because it's an old car, your saving money, etc...
Be thankful that she has not fallen in love with something like a early 80's 240D Mercedes like my better half did. For whatever reason she simply LOVED that car. Those things are tanks, but working on them is a super PITA because you get so dirty. But that's another story....
Be smart on this one bro., get her the 911 and everyone will be much better off...
