He eats too much junk food. Or is that product placement?

Nice foot work. Fun video, good hype for Lotus!

I cringed when I saw him jump into the car with his weight on the windshield frame

FYI, a couple of people have had their wind shields cracked by holding onto them while they got in/out of the car. While it looked cool and some times helps getting out, you're putting your car at great risk.

That was great! Thanks!

...i must admit, it did look liberating to be that carefree with the car, though...was it just me or did the video seem utterly devoid of substantive content?..

Cool vid... was waiting for the "camera hanging on the side of the car as it spend down the curvies" shot, but I mean hey, you can't have everything. =)

Took a ride like this recently through some back roads... In-frickin-sane I just wanted to keep going forever. The speed you can corner at is just sick, it's on rails.

But New Car Prices & Used Car Blue Book Values - Official Kelley Blue Book Site doesn't list Lotus in their used car section... only the 2008 in new cars.

Yea, I dont think I got anything out of that video

It feels like somebody just needed useless filler content and came up with the idea for this video. It's either lamely scripted or the guy is just lame. I'm guessing it's lamely scripted. The video seems well shot though; decent enough quality.

Hah, exactly what I was gonna say. I had a heck of time getting the loan for mine a couple years ago simply because KBB and NADA didnt even show these cars to exist.
