But you guys appreciate cars, otherwise you wouldn't be driving an E60 right?

This is my little bro's new baby. I hope he keeps his licence long enough to enjoy it

2005 Exige S2
Magnetic Blue
Lotus Stage 2 performance exhaust system
Cold Air Induction kit

Man, this thing is insane!

I've never seen that! The Elise's hardtop brother? Freaky awesome. Also about 2,000 pounds, like the Elise?

Niiiiiiiiice. My buddy has an Elise. You can actually see it in some of my gallery shots.


That Exige is a sick car bro. Congrats.

I saw Consumer Reports trying to evaluate the Elise recently. All they did was complain about everything -- loud, cramped, rough, blah, blah, blah. They just don't get it. My wife gets Consumer Reports, but I find it useless. They just don't care about the things I care about.

shiny - you absolutely -need- to get the 3M kit on the Lotus cars. There is so much exposed surface area.

It's relatively insane how much it costs, but it ends up covering a ton of parts on the side of the car too that get frontal exposure.

The future BMW F1 team.

And if you really want to drive as fast as you dare, buy a brand new BMW K 1200 S.
