Let's face it, I'm totally obsessed with cars - especially Lotus. I was 15 years old when I saw a Phantom Black 2005 Lotus Elise and I was immediately hooked. It ignited my passion for cars and after selling one of my first houses in 2009, I bought a 2006 Chrome Orange Lotus Elise - which was my dream car at the time. When I sold it two years later, I missed the car so much that I bought a 2008 Lotus Exige S240 in Aspen White as soon as I could. This review celebrates my passion for the Lotus brand and three years of owning my 2008 Exige. The driving starts at 7:52 in. But if you watch the whole thing you won't miss out on some of the best parts.
