I'm Chinese and I'm riding my Vespa.

Guy pulls up near me, (I'm only assuming he is Italian because he has a Playboy bunny patch that has the italian colors on his jacket) in a Chinese scooter.

And we sit silently waiting for the red light to turn green. Laughing to myself, I realize I'm a geek and only scooter geeks would probabaly laugh.

This of course doesn't temper my anger when a car decided to pull out immediately down the road. Almost falling off my LuX and I swear i saw my deceased father yell obsecnities at me in Chinese.

LOL. My friend Pchop who's on this board is also Chinese. He'll tell you about the time when an Italian guy in a Hyundai tried to race Pchop's real Ferrari.

(Tif, i'm can't get no work done with you around Razz emoticon)

Yes, I had some Italian guy "race" me in his Hyundai, except it wasn't just any Hyundai: it had Ferrari badges, Ferrari decals and even a massive Ferrari flag painted on the hood.

Anyway, I was just pulling out of the valet with Tif and we stopped at a redlight. This person pulls up next to us and started to shout "Your Ferrari aint worth sh!t, and got nothing on this baby!" He peeled out and immediately got pulled over by NYPD (who was behind us). The cop was just shaking his head and trying not to laugh.

PCHOP, nice Elise! Have I "seen" you on Lotus Talk? Somehow looks familiar, thought I was on the wrong forum for a second!

Love the Elise! I almost bought a "California Edition" but I'm just too darn big for the car.

Enjoy your Lotus!

Kent, 6' 2" is the limit. If you are less than that, I suggest a few yoga lessons to help with the entry and exit flexibility Have you looked into the Evora? It will be available in a few month.
