So what you are saying is that to further drive home our lack of nice car seeing adequacy, you took a job that essentially requires you to see nice cars.
Very nice job. I was actually thinking of picking up something similar around here for a summer job. But yeah. I think more than a few of us will be slightly jealous...
Nice one, Doug! What a perfect job that is! Looking forward to seeing even more photos from you. You may need to start blanking out the license plates now though, eh. With your passion for cars I'm sure you'll make lots of great contacts in the job and be driving these things quickly with permission soon! btw That white 355 looks fantastic! Would look great with shiny black wheels. I saw a white Testarossa here and fell in love with white Ferraris, with that white F40 I saw being the icing on the cake.
I absolutely hate white supercars, but consensus seems to be that the 355 is the only one that can really "pull it off." This particular model, however, had a red interior and didn't engage first gear. Perhaps not the finest example.
Great! btw, how was the 575M? My friend and I always talk about the possibility of owning one. The difference between me and him being that he could actually go out and buy one tomorrow =[
Holy hell you are one lucky sunnamagun. I was considering doing this for the Lotus dealership a bike ride away, but I already had a great job this summer. Although I don't have any experience, I definitely have my foot in the door in regards to the Lotus aspect of things. Perhaps next year.

This dealer is also Lotus Denver so pretty soon I'll have an Elise under my belt, provided I can fit.
I'm big and it wasn't an issue. Have you recently been in one of those Mcdonald's play structures? Getting into an Elise feels like maneuvering through one of those. Once you're in, you're in.
Hah! Good choice. There's something about that car and the 550 that just pushes all the right buttons. You're right about the prices, they're tumbling. Even the 550 Barchetta - my personal choice (1,800 miles @ GBP 104k!) . The only problem being that ownership would be a huge financial commitment, especially here with the 2nd highest fuel prices in the world and outrageous road-tax for such a large engined car, not to mention insurance and other everyday parking/tunnel toll costs (although they're are the same no matter what you drive). Some day though. Some day.
I looked at an Elise once, one that I could sit in. I just said "no" and walked away. The last time I had my knees in my face in the drivers seat was a Ferrari 308 as I recall... Not particularly pleasant. Still, its not really all that bad... I just didn't feel like being a Circe'd'Sole (sp?) performer to get in there.
Maybe that's why I generally prefer cars like the Corvette (made for tall people) and the M3/M5 (just plain normal-sized). Then again, I have about an inch of headroom in the Celica anyway...

Interestingly enough, my 6'2 frame has fit perfectly in both the Elise I sat in, as well as the 308 I sat in. I fit worse in the bigger Testarossa. I like how you dismissed the Elise's driving position without even sitting in it. It is the most driver-focused interior arrangement I have ever come across.
Congrats Doug on your new job, you sure did make a lot of people here jealous. Too bad you can't take them for a spin, if you did you would end up wetting your pants every time you drove on of those cars. So is this like your part time job or something? Will you continue after school is finished?
