Lotus cars - Espirits? Yummy! How do you keep them away from rust in IL?
The Ducati - Nice! Had a 996 SP Mono-Posto with Race Ohlins & Radial Brembos, Marchessini Wheels - I miss that bike.

Fiberglass bodies on the Lotus don't RUST. Plus they are never driven in the Winter, plus with the price of gas and the low rating of gas these days none of my "Exotic" cars are driven much.
In fact we just got back from a family trip to the "Water Capital" of the world and we rented a 2013 Toyota Rav 4 instead of taking the X. Total cost for 400 plus miles of driving was 45 bucks. With the X it would have been closer to 90 bucks since we wouldn't have gotten close to 40mpg and wouldn't have been using the cheapest gas available. Plus not having to worry about a 12 years old car breaking down PRICELESS.
