    That looks awesome and I love that color. There's a guy in Downers Grove who has an Extige that he commutes in every day rain or shine. Now that's dedication!

    Awesome!

    The Lotus Elise/Exige is about the only real alternative in my mind to the 308. More power to you guys to have both.

    That's cool! Are you going to track that thing?

    Let me know if you do a track day. I might be able to tag along.

    Isn't FVM having a Lotus day at Autobahn on Monday?

    +1

    I always thought the Exige looks like a mini version of the F50 GT.

    Thanks everyone. Unfortunately, track days are a while off. There is a engine break in period and brake bedding to go through first. So far the car has been driven ~2 miles home before the rain Tuesday. Hopefully this weekend will provide some weather condusive to driving! The car is a 2008 Exige S 240, Lotus' latest incarnation of the Elise. Perhaps we'll bring this to the 5.25 show. Driving wise, it reminds me very much of the go-carts at CIR! BTW, the whine of the supercharger is addicting :D

    So far sunday looks like it'll be a good day to enjoy that beast.
    Bring both the cars to the show, haha.

    That is an awesome looking car!

    Blue is my favorite non-Ferrari car color. If I could get a sports car, and it wasn't a Ferrari, it would be blue. Only my first 8 Ferraris would be red, then I would get a blue one.
