I don’t even pretend to be one. What I do is tell stories and sometimes, if I am fortunate, they resonate with people. So when guy name Joe here in Buffalo contacted me and offered me a ride in his 1995 Lotus Esprit I was torn.... I thought I would post up a thread about my most recent article on The Truth About Cars. A big thanks to Joe - 91MR2 - for taking me out last weekend in his Lotus Esprit and for sharing his stories with me. I hope I was able to do our conversation real justice. Joe is an intersting guy and it is tough to capture the depth of someone’s personality - and I found Joe to be an especially thoughtful person - in just 1000 words. ---

By the way, since I stole the photos Joe posted here I gave NYspeed photo credit. We might get some visits over here, too. Since you guys have decided to allow me to play in this sandbox too, it’s the least I could do. ---

Joe is one of the first people I met at a meet back in the ubrf days and he has been consistently a class act and a good representation of what being a “car guy” should be. ---

Joe rocks. Not what I would define as the typical older Lotus owner, for sure. Hell, you could have used this perfectly framed and lighted (no, not really) of it without its winged ass in my shop 😉 ![https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-7wjh9Rv5mV4/SFK-qKW6iSI/AAAAAAAAGbQ/qbHkdTzeR9c/s640/IMG_0106.jpg](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-7wjh9Rv5mV4/SFK-qKW6iSI/AAAAAAAAGbQ/qbHkdTzeR9c/s640/IMG_0106.jpg) ---

Joe is one of the nicest guys I’ve met and worked with on this site. Everything in that article is true, right down to the contortionist method of entering and exiting that sucker. Makes me appreciate my own ride that much more. Indeed a blast to ride in and I sincerely hope to see more of it this season. Well done to the both of you.
