Like so many other English sports cars, the Lotus Elise looks so right in British Racing Green. Wire Wheel is offering this 2005 Lotus Elise for $27,900. While it does have a rebuilt title, Wire Wheel knows these cars well enough to separate the good ones from the bad ones.

Is that an advertisement? Because when I click the "Read the rest of the story" link... there is no more story. Just the same text saying "you should buy this rebuilt title Elise for $27.5k because this company knows stuff about profiting from wrecked Elises"! (paraphrased)

I know right? Or... if you stretch the budget a little you can squeeze into a 17 year old Miata with a V8 swap!
And yet somehow, this is not the same car as a Corvette or a 996 Turbo or a custom-built V8 Miata or a Toyota minivan. It's like they're all valid options. Weird.
There's a yellow and black one that autocrossas locally. The driver is my size and maybe twice my age, I have no idea how he gets in and out.
Way prettier in British racing green, but really what isn't?
It's fast, it's noisy, at least when he's driving it has a pretty hard understeer issue. Looks like tons of fun though.
I think the best part is seeing it show up with a tire trailer on the back.
