I spotted it on Maynard / Chapel Hill Rd. and barely had time to grab my camera phone. I am thinking it was a Lotus Esprit. Anyone?



edit: and after looking at that picture and the car, yes now I am sure it is. Nevermind.

^^Haha, if you're referring to the red car, that's just the one I used to compare to the camera phone picture that can be found on the link, sorry if I confused anyone.

The wheels may look cheap, but they sure aren't. They're made by OZ.



After taking a closer look at the picture I posted, the car you saw is on EBay:

have you looked at a fiero recently? About the only thing they have in common is that both are mid engine, rear wheel drive.

I'm actually looking at an SE model as my next purchase. If you're looking into one, now is the time to get one. With 2004 being the final model year, prices should start to rise again. It'll be interesting to see what the replacement looks like. Esprits don't photograph well. Once you see one in person, they are much more striking. Similar to a Countach, it looks bulky in pictures, but everything proportions into perfection in real life.
