Depends... Was the plan to use it to haul hay on a ranch in Alaska? The friend might be right.

Looking for a fun car? nothing better.

Yea calling someone stupid because they don't view cars the same way you do is a little harsh..

Its all about individual perspective, and intended use.

The comic gave me a chuckle. Just thought I'd share.

your friend must lead a boring life, oh well

Definitely don't buy a Lotus. Nothing good about them. Seriously, please don't buy one.

Absolutely right. Don't buy one. Buy two! They're small. rotfl

Im in the Washington DC area.. I'm not much of a threat to your supply in CA, haha.

 

[LostPawn]

If you do buy one, don’t let you friend ever drive it and I wouldn’t let them ride in it either. I have no need to prove my dumb friends wrong.

When I pulled up I'm mine my boss gave that we're paying you too much look. When I showed him I paid less than his new Jeep he got that I could have bought that instead look! And yes they we're paying me way too much!

My favorite answer when someone asks how much I paid is to point at a car that cost more and say "less than that." It's really fun when it is their car

There really isnt a good objective reason to buy a lotus, your friends analysis is spot on


On the flip side they are quite enjoyable to drive

There is nothing common about buying a lotus. That's why its not common for people to make sense of it.

 

[komiko]

^ yes. You have to go out of your way to buy one. Sometimes, way out of your way.

Any time somebody does something like this to me, I make it a point to pretend to be mentally disabled around them from then on. After like 3 years, it really starts to wear on them.

I live in Iowa and own an Exige. I get those "why the fcuk would you buy that" looks all the time. I'm used to it and I don't care. People can enjoy the car if they want, they can mock it if they want... no, it doesn't have an ounce of practicality (other than happiness!), but at the end of the day, I bought this car for ME and me alone. I didn't buy it to impress friends or strangers, I bought it for me.

Don't buy one because of the image you want to project, buy one because it's what you want, and you won't give two ****s when someone tries to talk bad about it.

My wife and I have a running joke about whether her Mazda 6 or my Elise is the more practical car.

When her car had a battery issue recently, I joked that my Elise (and its battery) were more reliable.

On my 11 day roadtrip across the country I joked that my car was practical since it had no mechanical issues. Her car, being 4 years older, might have been risky to take.

Also I like to point out that my car gets better highway mileage.

My car is more practical since the trunk is so quick to unload.

When it comes to winter driving, mine is safer since it has snow tires and her has all season tires.
