Hello, I just bought a Lotus Elise a few days ago. It's my new daily driver and so far I love it. Since I moved to Hawaii four and a half years ago, this is my fifth car.
I came here with an '03 Mustang GT, which I sold for a '00 Viper RT/10. A friend of mine apparently didn't think I needed the Viper any more, so he did me the favor of parking it inside of a BMW 5-Series while he was driving me home. I was heavily intoxicated, by the way.
So, to replace the Viper I got a Mercedes CL600. A few months after that, I got a call from a friend of mine back in Seattle who was selling his '88 Ferrari Testarossa for an amazing price, so I bought that and had it shipped out here.
Meanwhile, the CL600 started having a bunch of small issues, which quickly turned into a bunch of big issues that added up to about $12k in repairs. So I traded the Benz in on an '07 yellowish Elise with 6k miles on it.
I'm not entirely sure what color to call the Lotus, though. It's mostly yellow, but there is definitely orange in it. And it's got some metallic flake. It's more the color of a caution sign than yellow.
