Thanks, the quads are Honda TRX 250EX's will be adding a Honda TRX700 some time in the near future. (kinda on the fence though, could get my engine blown with that money.) The truck is actually a Frontier although everyone always confuses it with a Titan. =)

I work from home so don't have a daily commute per say, but I rotate through driving them all. Been racking up miles on the Elise lately though. Can't get enough of it, it's like a bad crack habit. I need my fix.

Talking My Lotus Exige S next to Mercedes Benz SLR

The Benz SLR makes my Exige S look so tiny that it pretty much resembles what a remote control car would look like next to the a full size exotic car.

I don't know what that guy was thinking with those rims on the SLR, but your car looks great!
Peace,

I may be alone in this but while I think the Elise looks really sharp, the SLR is... well, someone went nuts with the fugly stick and that's when it was stock. The rims don't help it any. It does make the Elise look even smaller than it is.

He can't park correctly to save his life, huh...? Well... I shouldn't judge maybe he didn't want to scratch your ride.

I'm thinking the SLR is parked that way because of that concrete bar in the front...maybe he cant park it straight without the back end sticking out too much?

the rims are just ugly....he should not be allowed to drive that car just because of those rims that he put on.

Talking

He's actually a friend of my friend. I told him to move away because my passenger door was open and I didn't want his gull wing door to hit me while I was on the passenger side.

He's actually a famous rock star but I'm supposed to not disclose who he is because he's also my friend's client.

Seven wins by a Nose

If this was a horserace, I think my '79 Seven would come out the winner by a nose! Based on value, the Ferrari TR60's wheel is probably worth more than my whole car. Oh well, rich dudes = expensive cars, blue collar guys = thrills driving a Seven!!!
