Poor Mrs.Glam. When I get my mind made up, I go OCD...

Here is my current obsession. I’ve decided I want an exotic car. Wanted one since I was but a wee lad. Found one I can afford and need to pull the trigger while still young enough to get in and out of it. Not to mention they seem to keep going up in price! Seems to be a relatively decent investment (as long as I don’t wrap it around a pole of course). I’m guessing in 10 years, due to its rarity, I should be able to get back what I paid for it.

Anyway, here’s the one I’m trying to contact. Ever seen anything more beautiful? (Besides Mrs. Glam of course)







For those of you who now me and my ego, think I’ll get enough attention rocking around in this baby?



Here’s video of the next step up. Next step up is 6mph faster....



And against a Mustang GT driven by a professional racer...

Here’s my first. Had it before Bernice, my Mini Cooper Turbo...



And I miss it. Got choked up watching it drive away when I sold it. I know, I know. Ridiculous. But I is a Motörhead...

I approve wholeheartedly!

I had my "fun" car a while back - a 1963 356 bathtub Porsche cabriolet. It was a gas to drive!

Sorry I sold it, but raising two children was more important than a car.

Have fun!

Been looking at Porsche’s meself. But the Lotus has a Toyota drivetrain. Much cheaper maintenance.

Not much more complicated than a VW.

But that Lotus is beautiful. Enjoy every mile.

Love the Elise with the Toyota engine... Reliable yet fun! I came really close to pursuing one too, then suddenly pivoted to electric just to see what that was all about. No regrets.
