a lotus is a toy... and toys are for WHOEVER can afford them. There's a lady here in SA that has one and has a stay at home hubby.
I'm in the process of buying a new car... either getting an alitma or jetta.
I got myself a toy just the other day '95 blazer 2 door, 4x4 its a beast. bought it off some crack head for $500, the motor was blown.. got my dad and some of his friend to load it up on a trailer, my brother has about 6 different chevy engines... got one of those and dropped it right in. other than typical chevy wiring problems there isn't a damn thing wrong with it. It took me about a week though to scrub the inside of that truck out... it even has leather!!
