Spirited drive??? - LotusTalk

gobeli · 08-04-2009, 09:21 AM

So I've wanted a lotus for a while now. Finally graduated and got a job so now I am looking at purchasing a used Elise next summer. On that note I figure it’s about time to ride in/test drive one.

So I'm looking for somebody willing to take me on a spirited drive to show me what the Lotus is all about first hand and then possible give me a stab at it or at least test fit the drivers seat.

You can decide when you meet me.

I'm really just want to know for sure if this is the car for me.

I'm in the Naperville, IL. Sorry not a chick. But on the plus side I have never worried whether or not I would fit in a Lotus.

I'd recommend going over to Fox Valley Motorcars. They have a great staff and an 06' sitting on the lot that might interest you.

Guess I'll check it out later this week. Really want to wait till next summer for a purchase.

Just did the whole moving, graduation and marrige things and wanted to verify that the finances are where I expect them to be. Living, utilities and whatnot all are different after school. Also one tends to spend more money when they actually have it.

Plus my wife just had a fit about yellow cars a few days ago.
