Just don't go driving a new one first.
I often drive JK Wranglers, as my work has plenty of them, which we use for errands like getting lunch etc. They're a lot of fun, especially when the roof is off. I once drove an old TJ that we had (a special edition called a "Golden Eagle"), which was beautifully maintained, but it handled like a Wells Fargo stagecoach... almost the polar opposite of your Lotus.
Still, a cool car - but definitely a guy car... at least that's what my girl thinks.
