Well the reason I haven't been on lately is b/c I always said I would never sell my car, but I put it on the market and it had an offer in one day for $9,500. I couldn't resist, so some guy drove away with it last week. Today I bought the car of my dreams (with my dads help). It is a 2001 Lotus Elise ( burnt orange). It really is nice to have a car that can handle! Check it out! These pics were taken with my phone so they aren't great but oh well. The pics don't do it justice, it is darker in real life.

So what was your reason to even list it? Sad to see it go. How many miles were on it when it was sold?

ehh..to be honest I expected more out of that little thing...I expected it to excellerate a lot faster, and have more power than it does..I think even if they bumped it up to 250 they would have a very noticible improvement with that weight...

The engine is sourced from the Toyota Celica GTS. British rice. One of the ugliest cars on the road in my opinion. Enjoy.
