s2000 would be a way better daily driver than a lotus exige though. All the road noise and engine noise would be annoying, also only having enough storage for a briefcase. If you got an exige it would only be a "fun car" imo. Whereas i could drive an s2k every day to work and not worry to much with it in the parking garage.

Nope, no Bentley GT, sorry... Last time I went they had two of them, but apparently they had sold them already, as they didn't have any at all. Strangely enough, all the same Porsches I saw there last time were also there when I took these photos... must not be a very hot seller this time of year. lol

Yes, but you're also missing the point. The Elise is a no-holds-barred street-legal track car. It is NOTHING like an S2k. Sure, they may both be small roadsters with 4-bangers, but the Elise is an entirely different monster.

About the whole daily-driver thing, I agree with you about the S2k. The Elise was NOT fun to get into at all. You practically have to be a yoga master to get into the thing; and I am by no means a tall person, at only 5'7"-5'8". If I had to choose one, though, I'd choose the Elise. Just because of the fact that the S2k just seems too bland to me, whereas the Elise looks absolutely stunning.

That person dropped a K20 into a Euro Exige, not an Elise. The Euro Exige has the rover engine in it, that's why he swapped it; because those things are major POS's (the engine, I mean). Personally, I'd never swap a K20 into a USDM Elise. The 2ZZ engine is fine by me.

Should come cruise in Scottsdale if you ever come to Phoenix, AZ. You will see every car you posted on a daily basis. They used to look like the sickest cars, and they still do dont get me wrong. There just isnt anything special about those. My neighbor got a brand new Ferrari the other day. They also own a RSX-S? go figure. I need to take some pics on my cruises around. I have only seen 3 of the new rolls royces though. One day on Camelback (nice area) I saw 3 Aston Martins all blue within half a mile, followed by 2 Elises. I always find myself not paying attention to the road for some reason. Hard area to drive. I get smoked by BMWs and Mercedes all day. I saw the new Bentley as Subway like 2 weeks ago, it was so freakin sick. Just perfect.

Sometime Ill go to the Ferrari, Lambo dealer down the street from my house. I know my kids will have a blast, and Ill take some pics. Ill start saving up pics of daily cars around me, and start a thread. Its nuts.
