Well considering the lotus cost $50k, and the crossfire has absolutely no resale value, it's just not worth selling the crossfire for $15k only to buy a lotus that hasn't got a radio, interior or any comfortable means of street suspension, oh and the lotus only has like 180 hp, though it only weighs in at 1,900 lbs. IMO it's just not a usable car unless you live near some curvy roads or near a race track.
Since I live in LA, it would only end up a hangar queen, because the traffic sucks here, and the cops just have this magnetic attraction to sports cars, and third there really isn't anywhere to drive it anymore. If I go up to the canyons, the place is loaded with cops and jerk off drivers. Personally I would put $50k down on a new Robinson helicopter and start working on a chopper rating. Hey it's only $300k, why f around with sports cars?
