I actually really want to have a motorcycle engined Lotus Elise (register it in Montana or something so no one has to "inspect" the emissions equipment), but the motorcycle riders I know are trying hard to persuade me that a motorcycle is the way to go...Maybe someday I'll have a motorcycle. I definitely believe it's much more fun than a car.
It's weird because I was always kind of an automotive masochist and found most "daily drivable sports cars" too quiet and comfortable but I actually really enjoy driving this car when I get the occasional chance to. It's only a little slower than a modern base 911, you get a great dose of beautiful engine sound but subdued wind and tire noise, and it has an incredible amount of grip thanks to the dry sump, low ride, and wide track.
Definitely not friendly to the Earth but...I drive under 2000 miles a year so it's not that bad.
