    Yep, looks like an early 80's Lotus Esprit. Ferrari-esque, but not quite in the same stratosphere. 4-cylinder engines until the 90's, when they added a V8.

    The Turbo SE is one of my favorite cars... they are *not* noted for their reliability. :):

    Negative. No car wash yet...it's pissing down w/rain at the moment...I've
    driven to work all week and am getting crap from that direction too. Peeps
    are used to the dirty motorcycle though :D

    BTW, the flashing "2:00h" means you've been driving for 2hrs and it's time
    to get out and walk around thumb.gif A flick of the switch and it's gone.

    Andy, tell your Mac-hating son that one great thing about a Mac is that if you're not sure how to spell a word, you just start out, and type what you can, then hit opt-esc. A list of possible words will pop up. Type in "ill" and hit opt-esc, and illiterate is top of the list.
