Crashing it would definitely be bad. Very bad.

I wouldn't have a problem with running a GT3 in Topeka, even if it was our first event with it. Except of course, SS runs Thu/Fri.
One of my goals this year is to not have workers return or relay parts or pieces back from the course between runs.

Keep that up and it sounds like FC might be buying a Brand New used car.

Shit, they must have sold the Elise that was nearby. There is only one other used one within 5 miles and it's 41 miles away near Cape Cod. I may have to go to the dealership - they have one (and a 2nd, '08 SC'd Elise).

The Elise isn't super common in the Seattle area but I've seen a bunch of them up here to the point that I'll look but don't go out of my way to rubberneck like when they first came out.
Heck, there's a neighborhood used car dealership in po-dunk Bothell, WA (around the corner from my home town of Kenmore) that's had an orange Elise just sitting on it's lot for the last 2+ months. I drive by it every other day or so. Otherwise, last time I was at Park Place LTD (in Bellevue) they had about 10 Elises on the lot and maybe another 4-5 Exiges. Of course, Park Place is a Lotus dealership (and Ferrari dealership, and Saleen S7 dealership, and Aston Martin dealership, and Spyker dealer, and, etc. etc.). It's basically a car show you can buy from. The Lambo dealership is across the street, kitty corner from the BMW dealer.

The only Lotus dealership in New England (except CT, They have one too, I believe) seems to only have one or two in stock at any given time. OTOH, they seem to have a 10+ new AM's and many other expensive exotics/classics all the time.
