#48355, "New ride"


          

Got a new ride...Well I've really had it for about 5-6 months now but I haven't posted on here in quite a while. Some OG members still around it looks like. I've still got my star stg 2 eclipse still going 100k+ miles and 10+ years turbo'd later!

Here's my new baby/weekend warrior emoji
2006 Lotus Exige


163.5 hp and 119.9 tq in 1950 lbs with the tightest suspension I've ever felt on a car.

Thanks guys and of course I'll hang around.

Just finished making this little vid entitled Tales from My Lotus Exige Part 1:
http://youtu.be/rLAt5zzJa4o

I hooked up a GoPro in the car and captured peoples reactions on it. Some of them are pretty funny.

You're killing me. I've been half-seriously looking at Elises for weeks...

Hey Bro! Good to see you still around here too. I'm loving mine so far. I was on lotustalk, ebay, craigslist, cars.com, and autotrader for a couple of months looking for just the right one. Almost flew out to San Diego for new years to buy a laserblue Elise but it got sold out from under me while sector111 which was going to do the prepurchase inspection was closed for the holiday.

That first picture makes it look like the coolest lawnmower ever.

I saw a lowered white lotus with bronze rims a couple years back - it's still the coolest car I've ever seen on california streets.

Thanks guys! I took it to Nashville for their Cars and Coffee last weekend and saw a bunch of other nice cars including an underground racing 1500hp twin turbo superleggera that was in the gold rush rally
The Exige made it on carbuzz.com!

A bunch of my CF interior goodies came in too. Matte cf...mmmm








2gnt in the background!



Hitting the rev limiter at 6k because the car hadn't warmed all the way up ftl lol. 5 seconds later it at normal temps and I could wind up to 8200.
