I might be buying this from my aunt in the next year or two. It's a Florida car it's entire life, driven only in the sun. Near mint condition. It's a 1980 Datsun 280ZX.

Yeah that is pretty much the exact configuration of the BMW 3-series that I want but most likely won't be getting as my first car!

That's what I get for hitting the wrong key and not checking my post.
Only had it a couple of weeks, not had a chance to do a good photoshoot

It's a Lotus Elise, and it's an amazing car. So very sexy. Philgr, I envy you.

I was really surprised at the price on these things. First impression of the car was "That thing has to cost over 100K' but surprisingly you can pick them up for about 1/2 that or less. Now all I need to do is find a dealer and I will be set
Thanks for the comments guy's
The car is a lotus Exige,
It has a 1.8 toyota engine with 190 bhp but only weigh's 890kg, performance stats are 0-60 (4.9 sec), 0-100 (11.5sec) Vmax (149)
But its handling where it is very very special, it will out handle and out brake pretty much any thing. It has been described as having the handling of a house fly

Sweet car...have you seen this...

Saw a couple at a track day my boyfriend and I went to. Got to sit in one. I'm pretty er... petite and it hurt my knees trying to get in and out! And it's so bare... it is only meant for honest motoring-- nothing else! In that sense, the $40-50K price tag feels steep because not that many people have the disposable income for such a 'luxury' item.

You must not know much about Subarus. Subarus are known for there long life spans. I know tons of people who drive beat up old Subies from the 70s and 80s with hundreds of thousands of miles on them. They just keep running. And sure the WRX interior isn't that spiffy (well the newer ones are actually better now, but the exterior looks horrendous), but it beats the Scions in performance (though it costs a lot more). I don't think there's really any competition between the two. If you can afford a WRX you'd be stupid to get a Scion, and if you can't afford a WRX you'd be stupid to get a WRX.

Actually, In europe the engine is a lotus engine. In the US, we have the toyota engine due to smog regulations. Of corse it has been tweeked a little...

This is what this little house fly can do to a Apache Attack Helicopter.

I always thought these types of comparison were dumb (no offense). People tend to think that comparing a car/truck to an aircraft makes it look better, but I cannot figure out why.
It reminds me of a video of a motorcycle and a jet taking off from a standstill to see which one is fastest. Why does anyone care how fast a jet can do 0-60?
If it were a real comparison, let's see how the car compares in the long haul, say over 1000nm, and compare the times. Or let's see how each one does in warfare and compare the results.
How many people are comparing a car to a jet for a purchase decision anyway?
I don't think that show was comparing those two pieces of transportation on accordance of speed, but more of the maneuverability.
But, yes i do agree with you. I just thought it was kind of suprising that they compared a multi-million dollar attack helicopter to a mer $30,000+ sport compact race car.
