The Car My Uncle Is Buying Me

im sorry but either this story is a big ass lie... or your uncle is just doing something stupid. Who buys a new licensed driver a Lotus to start out?? r u kidding me? hes buying u one of the fastest, most luxerious cars and ur just starting to drive???...how about u gain some experience with a civic before u go speeding through the streets with a lotus...just my opinion, make sure u tell me when ur going out for a ride so i can stay home. (no offense)

 

I never said id drive it as soon as i got it. I wanna drive a ----ty car for a bit, so i dont like..crash the lotus the first day lol. And my uncle is nice, but he told me if i ---- up the car he aint paying for it lol

So your first car will be a Lotus speed machine... Have fun wrapping your self aroudna telephone pole at 112 mile per hour... btw if your gettigna lotus, i hope you know how to drive standard

 

true... u gotta know how to drive stick...and i dont know any young teenagers who just got their license who can drive stick, i mean it just takes some practice to get it... lol w/e man enjoy the car, have fun while it LASTS...

 

They aren't that fast, they just look pretty.

 

Its stick shift? O damn haha. Ill have to learn that in my step dads truck hehe. Ill just let it sit around and look pretty till i learn stick haha

Ok we can make this fun! I got 3 weeks after first drive before car is destroyed. Any takes? place your bets poeple, palce your bets...

 

You're gay man! You'll be a natural stick shifter.

 

Yea a lotus isnt fast.... Planes dont fly either. I bet you also knew the holocaust and vietnam war were made too right? Know you sh*t dude. Unless your comparing it to the TRD Castrol Tom Supra, a Lotus is hella fast.

It may only be a 4 banger, but I will garuntee it will outrun any car you will probly ever own...

 

i dont really like sports cars that much either muscle or insanly pimped out cars

 

Dude that is so freakin sweat. Im speachless. Oh yeah, whats your uncles name again?

 

It is possible that he will get the car, and just becasue the car is fast doesnt mean he will drive it that fast.

 

You'll love standard....much better than automatic. If you get your gears right, prepare to burn everyone in the dust.......once you get better that is. Ohh and I learned to drive with a 2000 Impala, so you could learn with something pretty good like that. You don't have to drive a sh*** car. Reason being is because...well....if it's Sh****........umm......Why drive it???? lol

 

Ive always liked those car ever since i first seen one

Nice Pick m8

 

If you have a choice of any car under $100k why choose a Lotus? I'm not slating the Lotus, they are appealing cars, but I'm sure you can find a better one within the [massive] price?

I also hope you're not taller than about 6ft, I seen a guy about 6ft tall getting out and in his Elise, just lets say it was a struggle for him. :lol: The car is so low down.
