Default Anybody else in CS seen this car??

Hope its not old news, but Ive seen a yellow lotus elise about three times now in my apt. parking lot. Saw it parked tonight, passed it as I was coming in and he was leaving earlier and slowed way down so I wouldn't splash it with my Tahoe. Anyone else seen it/know anything about it? I know absolutely nothing about those cars, but I thought It looked pretty cool. Like this one, but yellow (and maybe not same year exactly??):

Theyre slow in a straight line but try running one through some twisties and theyll leave you in the dust.

Dang it, I really wanted to come out tonight. This freaking class I'm taking consumes all of my time, that's why I haven't been out in like 3 weeks. I saw some of my pics made it onto the new BVSB website, pretty cool. I'd make it tonight, but I have to go to Houston to pick up my new wheels . I'm also painting the calipers, doing pads, and changing all my fluids this weekend.

And I'm gonna need a garage to paint/polish my wheels, I'll be providing beer or a steak if someone can help me out with this.

I had a run in with one about a month ago. It was 5:45am so I couldn't tell what it was. Finally last week I saw a yellow one and was able to see "LOTUS" on the back. Lotus website shows it at 43K and 190 hp if I remember right. Nice looking car.
