I, personally, am a fan of unique cars. From your previous rides, it seems you are also. I like something that someone can't go to the dealer the next day and just scoop up. Here is my suggestion:

Lotis Esprit TT
Looks good.
Handles good.
Easy to upgrade.
You can put homo rims on it too.


I concur. I couldn't image getting in and out of that little thing everyday. It reminded me of my Bigfoot Power Wheels when I was younger.
I still have to test drive it to see if I like it....but I know I will.

And about the espirit the problem with that car is its outa my price range. I can buy an older one but they are not financeable..thus making that idea not feasable. Trust me if I could afford that bitch i would so rock it

Yeah I am a hair under 6ft and 190 lbs...so I have to see if the car will fit me. I know I fit perfectly in miatas and mrs's. But about the porshe I cant get it because after selling the cAr and paying off my debt I will only have more like 5k. Thats y I am lookin for something that I can finance or buying that 400whp miata

I understand you dont like the styling....but u have to give credit where its due. And that car has some amazing capabilities and is extremely pupose built. Its a no frills no BS car. And if I get the miata I prolly wont take it much to the mountanis because it has a huge ass laggy turbo on it. but if I get the lotus your mountain riding buddy will be back

I know
I have narrowed it down to the miata or lotus.

Upside of the lotus is basically everything except the price and straightline pwr

Upside of the miata is its a beast and handles well and is cheap
Downside is its a bitch car and well its a miata nothing much to look at...that is until I modify some things on it
