David and Goliath (Lotus Elise and M3)
A friend and I went for a drive up highway 130 to the Lick Observatory. It's about an 18 mile drive through windy roads all the way up the mountain.
Here's a photo looking down from the top: The Elise in many ways is the exact opposite of the M3 and I really love it for that. His car doesn't even have traction control. I've ridden in one at an autox event and it's just unreal how planted they feel. If I were going to have a second car to play with, it would be one of these. Just wanted to share a few photos that were taken at the top of the observatory.

Pretty much empty if you go on a weekday. There are usually a few cyclists to watch out for.

I almost bought an Elise ~2yrs ago - brand new, only a few miles on the clock. Test drove it, and absolutely loved it. The purchase fell through as the dealer (Park Place in Bellevue, WA) refused to negotiate ... would not budge one bit from the price. It was 2wks before Christmas, with snow on the ground (I asked them who buys an Elise in that wether) ... and I had a check for $44K already made out. But still they refused to budge. ...I ended up walking away ... but it allowed me to buy the car I *really* wanted, the M3 (order placed 2 months ago!).
