Here is my current obsession. Ive 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 dont wrap it around a pole of course). Im guessing in 10 years, due to its rarity, I should be able to get back what I paid for it.
Anyway, heres the one Im trying to contact. Ever seen anything more beautiful? (Besides Mrs. Glam of course)
For those of you who now me and my ego, think Ill get enough attention rocking around in this baby?
Heres video of the next step up. Next step up is 6mph faster....
And against a Mustang GT driven by a professional racer...

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 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!

(15,067 posts)Not much more complicated than a VW.
But that Lotus is beautiful. Enjoy every mile.
