Sucks that you sold the stang, but so long as you are happy that is what counts. I think you could have done much better than a lotus elise for spending 40K+ on car. Me myself I would have put the money down for an 07 shelby. It's a badass car, that would appreciate in value fast, you could make money off of one of those, when the time comes, put it on ebay, and all those peope dying to have the first ones that didn't preorder will pay a pretty penny for one, like with what happened with the Xbox 360. Me myself I'd keep the Shelby though. I liked your vert it is sad to see it go, enjoy the lotus but.......For that kind of money you'd think the British would put in a decent engine, and interior in the car atleast. Seriously I could have designed a better interior for 2K. Those seats look like two pieces of plywood with folded edges, wrapped in leather.
