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?

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.

yeah it's like 0-60 in 4.3 or something.....very nice

they sound awesome too

isnt their engine *sorta a version of toyotas 1.8vvti motor? thought i read that somewehre. saw a yellow one in b/n not too long ago.
on the note of rare vehicles, mike murphy ford in morton has the new GT40 or GT whatever they are callin it. i got a nice digital camera for my 21st on wed, so im gonna go snap a few pics of it cuz i probably never seen one again.

the engine is actually supplied by toyota. it's a 190hp 138 torque 4banger DOHC.

24-27 mpg and only holds 10gals of gas...really lite
