Sweet. PM me if you are in the area.

I know there are about 7 Loti in the CDA area but none of them seem to be on LT.

Idaho has some great roads in the pan handle. I even drive on a logging road occasionally!

I live in Nampa as well! But sadly not Lotus...yet.

Hopefully i'll see your car around sometime. I live between the idaho center and the new shopping complex (best buy, costco, sportsmans warehouse, etc).

Once it gets warmer there are quite a few nice places to take the car. I'd imagine riding to idaho city and going further to lowman and back around would be a pretty fun ride in the lotus. A few buddies and myself ride it on our motorcycles and it has plenty of twisties to enjoy.

ahh i know right where that is, i used to live off of greenhurst as well.

I am looking to get a Lotus in the future, but i suspect i am going to be out of a job within the next 12-18 months, so it doesnt make sense to get one at the moment. Although the wife has been getting more and more excited about it. I think she saw Slaughtr's elise (it was BRG in boise at a parking garage where i believe he works) and she REALLY liked it haha.

Idaho guy here- Meridian. Not a current owner however... I keep going between the Exige and Elise SC. Saw a yellow Elise Saturday night on Eagle and Fairview. Would love to meet up with some locals just to get some ideas and meet the community.
Currently running around in a blue WRX with FMIC- so if you see me wave ;-)
course I'm also thinking of ditching the Subie and getting an Elise for a dd for the summer... eh- I'm all over the place. Too many choices ;-)

I am in CD'A and will give you a ride sometime in late May or early June. I've got her on jack stands now putting on headers, accusump, and hooking up some gauges. Plan on having her ready for track days at Spokane Raceway Park May 8th & 9th.

I think I may actually be picking an Elise up at the end of the month!! All depends on the drive experience and if I can work the deal the right way. Wife made me promise I won't mod for a year though.. booo
