I picked up the HRM Special(Chrome Orange/blk) yesterday from intercity lines at Pixar. And yes the car got all the attention sitting right next to a Carrera GT!!
This AM I got up early and took the wife out for a drive in the car. She actually likes it and made lots of encouraging comments(not like her at all in regard to cars). She actually may go with me on the Highway 1 trip next weekend.
Once I dropped her off it was out to the hills of the east bay for my first sunday morning ride.
Too many grins to describe! The car is like a four wheeled motorcycle! It is unlike any other car that I have ever driven in that it is sooo light and fun. Many thumbs up and double takes from motorcyclists and bicyclists alike!
How could you ever compare this car to any other out there for the $$??? It is a surgical tool....
The BIGGEST thing that strikes me about the Elise is that Lotus actually brought the car here. THIS IS NOT A US SPEC CAR! They went through all of the hurdles and convinced the DOT that it was OK! WOW! It is truly a road fly! When pushed hard this little car REALLY flies in every respect.:clap:
I will post again and actually try to do some pictures after my Highway1 Odyssey next week.
