Uuuuunnnnggghhh... Now I want a Lotus. Again.

@Sapphireho needs to do a review asap so I can realize that it's a terrible idea and go back to appreciating my FRS with all of it's compromises...

Good idea!

I'll get him started.

Going from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds is real scary. You have to make damn sure there is nothing in front of you for a ways ......

I'm home after spending 3 days and 870 miles in a Lotus Exige.

I will write my review after I rest. I need to catch up on this thread.

I can tell you, it is 2000lbs. of fucking fun.

And Ultra, I'm getting out like a pro now.

Thank you @humfrz and @Ultramaroon for making Saturday such a fantastic day.

Oh, man, likewise! It was a wonderful day. Mrs. Ultra loved riding along. She's been bragging it up to her kids and friends. "I got to ride in a Lotus." She says hi too.

Glad you're safe & sound at home.

You have to admit that once I figured out the secret, I looked pretty impressive getting out.

Slightly jealous of your purchase, but must say I likely wouldn't want to live with one. I'd want to drive it every day and that's probably not the most practical thing to do with a Lotus.

Yeah. That might be a little sketch. I'd still do it. Mount up some chains.
