If you’re the kind of person who thinks “driving” involves a touchscreen, lane-keep assist, and a seat massage, stop reading now and go buy something German. But if you believe that a car should be an extension of your very soul, a machine so pure it makes a scalpel look imprecise, then allow me to introduce you to my 2006 Lotus Elise. Weighing about the same as a shoebox filled with helium, this is a car that scoffs at modern excess. No flabby electronics to numb the experience, no pointless luxuries to coddle you—just an engine, a gearbox, and the finest steering known to mankind. Every drive is a masterclass in physics, every corner a thrill ride, every straight an opportunity to revel in its sheer mechanical brilliance. With its go-kart reflexes, telepathic steering, and a chassis that makes most supercars feel like they’re made of wet cardboard, this Elise is for those who understand what driving should be. If that sounds like you, congratulations—you may have just found your next car. Serious inquiries only. No dreamers, timewasters, or people who ask if it has cupholders.
