Recently picked up something more fun than a suv or pickup

3 or so weeks ago, after deliberating about how doing things while you are able to physically do things as you age, I decided I have one more fun sporty car in me.

So I sold the LandCruiser for this and all I can say is ….worth it.

Wow. You are now the 2nd person I know that's owned one. LOL.

Damn, I always like Lotus. Like souped up go-kart, fun.

 

[Saddle Tramp]

Hell yeah!

what a beautiful car. Enjoy it, I’m jealous.

I imagine that this is a whole lot more fun to drive than most SUVs.

Different animal from a Cruiser. Definitely fun, but maintenance is gonna be a bigger ask.

Arent these powered by Toyota engines, from when Toyota engines were still known for reliability?

 

[Rotten.dalton]

Yes, that’s right it’s a Toyota v6 from the generation when they built engines to last, rather than to please regulators. It’s just been supercharged by Lotus. The sound at 4k+ revs is thrilling. So far 2400 miles and it’s been perfect. Very un-Lotus like.
