Here are a few more pictures that were taken earlier today. I will post any more requested pictures in the next couple of days. I hope it brings you as much joy looking at it as it does me driving it.

I contemplated trading in my 8 for a 111R earlier this year...... but the missus wouldn't let me. ![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
If you really enjoy your driving, the Lotus is the ultimate affordable road car..... the thing handles like a go kart.

Free tires for life?? I didn't get that deal. I did get the 100,000 mile powertrain warranty for free, though. Not sure, between our deals, which one will pay off more in the long run. Still look forward to seeing the Lotus next weekend when I'm in Athens! That and cruising through UGA in our 8's, of course

Holy S#%T Mark. I just realized how cool that would be for all of us to just cruze through downtown Athens. Everyone would be looking. Haha. We should do that. he gets the attention and we just carry everyone that wants to go for a ride back to our house and have one kick *** party. Anyone near Athens is more then welcome. There will be more pictures probably tomorrow but here are a few to tide you over. Do you think this thread makes people want to be my friend?

I really like that blue from Lotus. More interior pics, please.

Don't know how much it is in the States, but here in Australia, entry level is $75K AUD, not bad considering a loaded RX8 is $63K and an S2K is $77K.

Actually the Elise was only $46000. Not that that isn't a lot of money but this thing competes with Ferraris (if thats how you spell it) and i'm not just talking about looks. And yes is is a targa top. You have to unscrew it so it is more of a seasonal thing. We havn't taken it off yet since it is getting cold. And i will post more interior shots if i can get them tomorrow.

^this is so true. that damn little car is so fast and agile you have to see it to believe it. it is in its own class compered with the other two... even the 120hp and 160hp ones (not shipped to the US) are very fast.
I lived in the UK for 3 years. I've seen so many Lotuses, these cars are in their own kind. even the 340R:
500kg, 170hp --> 340hp-to-ton -->named 340R!! I still remember the way it sounded, that thing could run 0-60 in about 4 secs all day:o

The last SPEED magazine with the Supercharge WHite RX-8 in it has a test between the Lotus and a Viper on a race track. Pretty interesting read, they call it the David VS Goliath road test, I thought the Elise would win it but it didn't. Pretty close though.
I like the Elise but I wish they didn't put the Toyota engine in it in North American version.

Stuck in a love triangle
That blue Lotus makesme cream my pants. AllI have to sayabout that is -- youd have to be one repulsive sonof a bitch to not get any w/that car (or maybe just married). I hate to admit it but while the Rx8 is a beauty - I think the Lotus clearly out classes it in looks. Then again -- its also 15000 more.

Hah. I wish. This is my dads house. I am just another one of those poor college students with a nice car that daddy paid for. But the archway goes to the garage and a place to park a couple of cars in he back. In the last picture of my car, the garage is below a bedroom where the archway leads to. i know this is a car forum but if you want pictures of the house i can give you that also.
