And you could race one far more competitively, for less money. If you weren’t in to racing, you’d have a car that didn’t look god-awful, had a huge aftermarket, and was cheap to repair.

But wait… you couldn’t say you were driving a Lotus.

What a fuckwad.

I never said it was a horrid car in its day, but other than some pretentious Lotus collector, there are **far** better cars out there for the rest of the population.

So lets see, there are better performing cars, there are better looking cars, and there are cars that do both, and cost less. The one advantage you have is saying you have 1/599 Ugly Loti in the US.

Now that I say it, seems like a steal, buy it for any price :picard:
