hey i was driving up to chicago yesterday...my new boss rented me a 2005 F-150 XLT...very nice....anyways...i was driving up to chicago and on the toll road (aka hell) i saw what i first thought was the back of a yellow viper. it was at a toll booth and no one was behind it...so i wanted to check it out. turns out it was a yellow Lotus Elise. very very sharp looking...sounded beautiful. only 190hp w/ a 6speed on a 4banger but dang...
i tried to catch up but there wasn't a chance.. that thing was flying...i think someone was late for work. anyways i priced it out and fully loaded delivered to a dealership near you...only (haha) $49,8XX. not terrible but not in my price range....guess i'll stick with my 200+hp eclipse that i got for a 9th of the price. what other cars have people run across lately? -------------------- it's not a dsm unless it's leaking something

QUOTE (kup125 @ Jun 21 2005, 09:13 PM) theres a red one in decatur yes very nice, i try to get the mid 40's lady to give me a little race, but no bite Those things are EXTREMELY light. I think that they have a 0-60 in the 4 second range. Not sure on the 1/4 but they are pretty quick. -------------------- Fast & Furious on the outside...DSM under the hood!!!
