I have a good friend named Everett. Everett is gigantic.

I have a Lotus named Elise. Elise is tiny.

This is what happens when they meet.

It is a very difficult car to get into!

This is consistent with my experience in an Elise. :)

And as I recall it's the same with a Tesla Roadster.

It was only half as bad if the top is off.

Yes, that's because the Tesla Roadster used the Lotus Elise chassis.

I remember seeing a Roadster for the first time and thinking, "Hey, that's so much like an Elise".
