I drive a 2007 Mercedes Benz C230 sport... but that'll soon turn into one of these, once the Lotus dealer sweetens the deal I tried to do last night:

Hehe, thanks. I went in to the dealer on the 15th with intention to purchase an Elise... however they egged me into test driving the Exige. At that point, I had my mind made up... screw the Elise bring on the Exige. Only problem is they won't budge on the dealer markup. I tried to haggle my way down but no dice. So I told them if they didn't do the deal I wanted I'd leave. I ended up leaving them with this message, "don't call me until you can give me the deal I want" (which is TOTALLY reasonable, I know how dealerships work). So the past few days they've been calling me with a sweeter and sweeter offer, but not the one I wanted yet. Soon they'll fold and the Exige shall be mine. :ugeek:

I bought this beauty last summer. Trying to lightly restore it. :) It's a 1966 Cadillac Coupe DeVille.

That thing is HUGE. I couldnt imagine trying to drive one of those around the jammed streets/freeways of Southern California.

It is quite large, but it could be worse. My previous classic Caddy was a 1970 Fleetwood limousine. Talk about a large car! Here it is when I first bought it. There was some rust on the trunk because it was too large to completely fit in the guy's garage. :D

It seats 9 comfortably.

I'm sort of a person of extremes. I either like things really large or really small. I guess that's why I love my S10. It's so tiny! Also want to get a Smartcar sometime in the recent future for around town.

I don't drive anything - Beijing has a world class subway system underground and terrible drivers aboveground. With 1,000 new cars a day and most of them first time drivers in their mid 30's whose parents never drove, navigating traffic is a nightmare.

Aside from the world-class subway system, that sounds like Southern California. :x
