Got his ducks in a row. Wawayanda boater
Yesterday’s gravel ride around Bedminster.
3 air cooled 911’s, one new 911, 3 Ferraris and this was the only thing going slow enough for me to catch a photo.

@jimvreeland made a comment about cars looking the same.
I saw this on the other side of the fence as I was running thought "oh, a Ferrari". Got closer, "Oh, it's a new Corvette". Get closer, oh, it's an Acura NSX.
And then today I saw this Lotus. I want one. But I'd have to deal with a messy divorce.
I saw one the other day coming towards me on Rt 206. From the front I thought it was pretty immediately recognizable as an NSX. But yeah, I could also see mistaking it for the new Corvette.
If you knew what the new NSX looked like. I know very little about it. It's one of those fancy cars that is completely off my radar. Like when I found out Lexus had a sports car?
I'm with @Carson . No 3rd pedal, no care.
Some of it was probably that it was the same red color as the one that you posted the picture of. I think a lot of the press shots were that color and it stands out a lot.

My friend is the original owner of a wine-red '05 with an aftermarket supercharger. He swears it's a forever car for him. It's outlasted any other car he's owned by at least a decade.
Looking at used prices, he could probably sell it for what he paid. Lotus demoted the well-liked and shrewd Lotus USA CEO Arnie Johnson just before the Elise hit the states, replacing him with an imbecile from Mazda who thought they were going to sell 10,000 Elises per year. Anyone who has so much as sat in an Elise can tell you it's the nichiest of niche sports cars. Prices tumbled on left-overs in 2006 and my friend snapped one up. Johnson resigned. Mazda dude lasted 2 years. Johnson eventually returned as Director of Operations.
I have another friend who got the first one in NJ. Drove it directly to an E30 M3 group event (he's a huge BMW guy too). I'm not sure he lasted a year with it. North Jersey roads + Sport suspension are not a match made in heaven. It also favors the, um, less-weight-challenged driver, which he was not at the time.
Yeah, I'd seriously consider one but they do seem rather horrible for regular driving. A much better Saturday Cars & Coffee ride car than a car you want to drive to work on a nice summer day.
They're not horribly priced and very much speak to my Less Is More belief in fun cars. Outside of a crash they also seem reasonable for upkeep. I've got a Colin Chapman build so I've got the fitment part covered.

Pretty sure that's a Pontiac Catalina.

I'm sticking with my guess. Although, these all look the same too. 🤣🤣
