32inch waist 5-9 175 pounds. I fit in an Elise fine. I know the Atom is faster, I really like the winged versions. But a British Racing Green Elise with B or K series iin it, is my dream car. Always had been now, I am just more obsessed with it cause i am dating a sweet girl by the name of Elise. The British make the best most nimble sports cars, and with a honda motor it great power(for the weight) and it will out last nearly everything. Not to mention Elise’s get close to 40 mpg highway.
