Totally Random - Elise
Firstly the Elise is awesome...
Anyway, who makes it? I know its made by Lotus, but is Lotus owned by another company or are they independent? I thought I heard/read somewhere that GM owned Lotus, but I don't know.
Thanks

oh the elise.... my dreamgirl...
a few weeks ago when i was thinkiing of turning my STi into a full blown racecar, i was looking at the elise as a replacement. It is an amazing automobile and will probably end up owning one sometime in the future, but have other Subaru plans/ideas now instead
, more to come in the next few months.... But I came across this beauty though, and it only helped further endear me to her:

Elise... yeah, I'm totally in love with her as well! I've been crazy about her for years now. She's always in my dreams... 
She would deccimate the majority of competition on turns/curves of any car under $99 K. She's such a strong, furious monster; yet a sexy, delicate beaut all at the same time.

That's the way I've read it anyway.
Oh yeah, and sometimes I wake up from dreams of driving one with a woody. TMI huh?
