I've had her for five years, tracked her, thrashed her and generally treated her very badly on occasion.
Every single time I park her, I still can't help taking that second look back. Every time
They either get totally under your skin or they don't. I'm happy I've been hooked (although the Bank Manager never has been, strangely

i dont even have one and i just love them
first sat in an elise at the scottish motor show years ago-i was 16-it felt like being in a race car,i loved how hard it was to get into,made me feel cocooned but not claustraphobic
loved them since then and i said that day that i vowed to own one

Yup, every time I look out the window and see it parked there, I get that same feeling. I also look back after parking, just like Shug said. Will never tire of looking at the Elise.
As for driving . . . it's great getting the train to work most days at the moment, because when I get back in the car at the weekend, it feels like my first time in the car all over again! Fecking love it!

Yeah, I
always look back at it after parking, but that's just to check I have turned the lights off .... honest!
