I ran the Tony Romas in Beverly Hills when I was living in Cali, we were catty cornered across the street from Symbolic Motors on La Cienega. Saw those cars everyday. It was pretty cool. That is the place that they jumped the car out of in the first scene in Gone in 60… ---

well, i didn’t drive the elise… (it was blocked in by two Lambos and I wasn’t going to be a dick to drive a car I had no intention of buying), but I did finally sit in one… I’d have to lose 15-20 pounds to be comfortable in the car. It is a huge bitch to get in and out of, but height-wise, I’m fine. There’s no mark-up on the car to speak of, so you CAN get one for $43k… not too bad for such a nice car. it has no bumpers. no reinforcement under the front or rear “bumper skins”. there’s a sticker on the window that states that it doesn’t even pass gov’t 2.5mph tests. all in all i’d have to say that, barring getting down under 170 pounds, i don’t think i could ever drive one. ---
