one of these came from behind and went by me by Branson, MO.
Had to look it up, hadn't seen one before - Lotus



Never been much for banana-yellow on any car, but otherwise I like the look.  Not sure about black rims either, but probably the best choice given the plantain aesthetic.

I once test drove a Lotus Europa in 1972.  Nice car, one of the best handling cars made.  We got back and I tried to exit the vehicle and couldn't.  It was so low to the ground and there wasn't room on the floor to push out, and no way I could figure to pull myself out.  The dealer fellow had to pull me out.  He then tried to interest me in a Citroen SM, which was a really neat car, but $10,000, which was excessive back then.

Always been a fan of Lotus.

Mizzou is more gold than corn yellow.

I think Lotus have always been very cool. No rip-roaring power, but built for absolute handling. The pictured one is the Lotus Elise. 

And like you, probably something I'd need the Jaws of Life to extricate me from if I managed to wedge myself into it in the first place.

Lots of people might already know, but the crazy thing about that black/gold Shelby GT350H is that it was specifically made for and sold to Hertz.  The "H" at the end designates the Hertz model.  All sorts of crazy stories about people renting them for the weekend and taking them to the local racetrack and racing them, and even some cases where people pulled the special K-code 289 HiPo engine out, stole it, and swapped in something less powerful.

Anyway I like that one a lot, too, but if someone's offering me one I prefer it in this iconic color combo:
