a new blue lotus, didn't get the chance to snap pics
but im hunting for it with my camera out the office window

it was downtown infront of the tim hortons on 5th and 4th
an older white dude was rolling in it!
:bigpimp: :D

was my first time seeing one in Calgary,
so figured it was worth a thread

I see Lotu's here all the time. That's got to be one of the most common higher end cars here. Specially the city I am in is really small. Not that many expensive cars, but deffinately enough Lotus's.

I saw a black one yesterday outsideo of the car wash on 17th near Manning Highschool. Talked to the guy he said it was brand new, only 1600kms on it. Told me he owns an exotic car rental company called Executive Something Something.. so out of curiousity I asked him how much they charge.. said the ferraris are $2500-$3500/day :eek: but the lotus they rent it for $299/day :D

now i just need an excuse to rent it ;) too bad i graduated from highschool a while ago.. maybe when I get my bachelors or something

You don't need an excuse to rent a car! Come on! $300 isn't bad!

If you owned a SE, S4 or S4S, you wouldn't love Lotus for long! ;)
