I took a day out of my business schedule to rent a Lotus Elise and check out some of the landscapes in Nevada. From Vally of Fire to Hoover Dam then to Red Rock Canyon, weather was perfect for a drive.
Performance-wise it's quite similar to my base boxster. Couldn't really test out its cornering abilities since it had these POS Nexus tires on that caused the car to understeer quite badly in a turn.
After spending a day sitting in an Elise, I am now a fully trained contortionist.
