Altitude Dream Cars

Looking at the specs on this car will blow anyone away. At some point, I’m going to drive one of these and see for myself. The Ariel has been around for a few years and they’re building them better and faster. Right now, they look to be in their third generation of production and build them to each owners specs … and, yes, this thing can be driven on the street, legally, well except for your speed, that’s a different form of legality.

Overview Specs:
Weight – less than 1,400
HP – 245
0 to 60 – less than 3 seconds (That’s wicked fast)

Go find a local rental company and see if they have it available to drive. I know I am!

Okay, this is pretty cool. I just got an email with the opportunity to drive the new Audi models July 31st through August 2nd AND you might want to watch some boat racing to boot. To participate, you have to go out to Lake Dillon up in Summit County. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday or Sunday. See you there.

BTW… I am not affiliated or know anyone at Prestige, I just thought this was cool. If interested, here’s the information:

2005 Lotus Elise

I’ve been contacted on several occasions and am asked, what happened to the little red Lotus Elise I rented? It was so much fun and I have fond memories of the night I took my girlfriend to dinner down in Denver.

Well, I continued to own it, drove it around for my clients to take rides and just had plain fun with it myself. Now I’m selling it. I’ve had my fun and frankly, our teenager will soon be looking at college, so I figure, I’ll use the Lotus to pay for a portion of his college and once he’s out, making money and when he gets rich, he can buy me another one. Or, something like that.

Of course, I’ll probably go buy another one myself, or I’ll try my hand at another Porsche or something. I am getting older and a little more comfort is probably in order.

If interested, I do have it listed on Cars.Com and am a motivated seller.
