Subject: what should i buy?

Date: 	Mon, 2 Feb 1998 13:22:25 +0000



ed,



i write you directly, cuz i get the pantera digest only once a week, and i

don't wanna wait for a response.  but you can bet i'll be wearing my

flame-retardant suit next week when i get my mail!  :>)  so, all you guys

who think "if it's not a pantera, it's crap", flame me directly!



anyways, i've been lurking on the pantera digest, and saving up for that

pantera.  (mebbe i should yust get a potato launcher instead! :>)  but i've

been reading that there's a good chance that the gnu lotus elise is gonna be

awailable in the usa in the next year or so.  now, i normally think it's a

complete waste to buy a gnu car - you can always find something used that

will outperform a gnu car, for the same $$$.  but this lotus elise mite yust

change my thinking.  here's a car that has the potential to keep up w/the

pantera in acceleration (at least up to 100mph), and should be able to blow

away even a...MIATA - yes even the MIATA!!! - in the twisty stuff.  and to

my eyes, it looks great in the fotos.  



unfortunately, i don't foresee a time in the near future where i'd be able

to afford both of these.  so, i'm asking you (or any of you uropeens who

mite have 1st-hand knowledge of one of these li'l loti)  whaddya think?  



all responses welcome!



thanx in adwance,
