Yes, there was one there. Curt is heading up to LOG so it's gone by now.
Test drive was boring because the cops around Sewickley are facists & anthing .5 MPH over the speed limit gets capital punishment. Plus there was a big old truck in front of me limiting my ability to go fast. It handled the corners well but at 25 MPH even a Hummer could do that. Steering is a little heavy but it's not hard to deal with except at a full stop. But this car eally isn't meant to be sitting still, is it?
You sit very low to the ground. There were some branches down from a tree in the middle of the street & I felt like I could have just reached down and picked them up. The shifter is a little sloppy & had a pretty long throw for a car of this type, a short shifter kit could fix that easily.
And for those that don't know the difference between a GT car and a Sports car this car will quickly show you the difference. There is little luxury here. I won't go into huge detail since you can find posts that describe it better but one thing is that it you get a sense that it's rickety. There is little or no sound deadening & it feels like you are driving a metal can, which, in effect, you are.
Anyhow, here are some pix. Please for give the low quality of the pix since I only had my Palm Z71 with me ( a whopping .3 megapixals).
Check out Pic #4, it shows the size compared to a full size MB. It really gives you a good idea how small the Elise is. For those that don't like small cars this isn't for you.
