A Lotus Elise is an exotic now? Was your Miata a muscle car, too?

What company engine does Lotus use?

Lotus has been using Toyota engines recently, but I would still call them exotic, simply because they are definitely rarer than Porsches

Small builder, limited line, performance oriented, expensive for what they are.
I'd say that fits well within the definition of "exotic car".

I worked in a Ford dealership in high school and they had a police car fall of a lift overnight. The lift was like the one in the 3rd video, with the two in-floor hydraulic posts. One side of the lift apparently had a leak and dropped slowly overnight, putting the cop car on it's side. The dealership instituted a policy of lowering all cars to the floor after that. Apparently, that shop in the 3rd video never heard about the problem since they obviously stored one car under another. Oops.

Shop I used to work at had automatic locks every 6" of lift. You have to release and hold them to lower the lifts.
