Sorry guys, I ran into a little problem yesterday as the car a planned to use as my exotic isn't in production yet. Work has been kind of busy so I haven't had any luck trying to find an alternative yet so I will just make a different pick.

With our 16th selection in the CP Car Draft, Lemelin's Lemmings are please to select in the Race Car category... the Lotus 79.

Quote:
It is considered by many the most significant and respected racing car design of all time... Nicknamed 'Black Beauty' by the press and F1 fans alike, for its graceful design and sleek profile and its black and gold livery through sponsorship by John Player Special cigarettes, the Lotus 79 was instantly competitive...
The Lotus 79 dominated the 1978 Formula One season winning the constructor's championship and giving Mario Andretti his only driver's title in Formula One.

All that is great but the real reason I chose this car is because I vividly remember playing with a toy one of them as a kid and thinking it was the coolest car.
