I spotted this fantastic little grocery-getter at Whole Foods in Raleigh last week. This is one of my dream cars, and I rarely see them around anymore, so I was thrilled when this drove down Wade Ave and pulled into the parking lot right as I was putting groceries into my car.

@NCspotter. Hi Nick spotting any Lotus in the wild today is such a rare experience. One thing for sure is that the driver was only there for the buffet meal, because his storage capacity is only good for the passenger seat lol. Great job as always behind the camera buddy! Shot #3 is breathtaking!

@Horse-Power thanks West! The driver was alone, so I suppose he could have been picking up a few groceries on his way home. This is actually the second Elise I've seen at a Whole Foods!

@NCspotter. Hi Nick how was your weekend buddy? I only manged a couple of cars. The weather here was just perfect. My big problem is seeing the same cars! The cool part of my weekend was I rented out a brand new 2018 Dodge Challenger R/T 5.7 liter V8 Hemi. With 375 BHP the car only had 298 miles showing on the speedometer. I did put on 290 miles in those two days. She did not just sip gas, but gulped it using a funnel lol. A big 13 miles per gallon Ha,ha. It's hard to imagine the Demon having 800 plus horsepower. The exhaust note in the cockpit was so loud that after a few hours my fiance was no longer amused lol. Have a fast, and painless week brother, and I will talk with you soon.

@Horse-Power it was largely the same here. I have been seeing some new cars around, but I just haven't been seeing many of them. I saw an LP560 Spyder on Saturday but wasn't able to track it down for any pics. I also caught a refreshed Mulsanne, which is something I had never spotted before. Plus I saw an older Viper but could only get a couple of pics of it. Other than that, i saw the usual Astons, Bentleys, Maseratis, and Porsches. That is cool about the Challenger (aside from the fuel economy lmao). One of my uncles has a 2015 Challenger R/T with I believe the same engine coupled to a six speed. It definitely has a presence with that sound! My uncle says it has about 385 hp, and he let me drive it a couple months ago. I didn't push it very hard because it has far more power than I am accustomed to, but it was a fun car and I can definitely see why people like them so much. Hope you have a great week and see some nice cars around!

@NCspotter. Hi Nick, thanks again for your email buddy. I loved all the shots. I sent you a couple of cars as well. I related to you about the red Speciale post of mine being removed it was from 5-11-2015. I have another red one that's from 9-29-15 why wait over two years to remove it lol. I don't get it. Anyways brother since Lotus is your favorite car I figure we can use this post now to chat. Talk with you soon.

@Horse-Power I really don't know, over the years the moderators on here have removed a couple of spots I've posted, and they always wait months if not years to do so. The reasons they give for deleting anything are usually pretty lame as well. I can't see why they would have pulled one of your Speciale posts, hope they realize they made a mistake and put it back on here. My brother just mentioned to me that he spotted a very rare Evora S GP Edition (1 of I believe 15 in America) in Charlotte last weekend, so I will be trying to capture a few pics of it. Anyway, thanks for your comments and emails, and I see that you have posted yet another Huracan so I will go check that out now.
