4 📝 Rough Draft

My new Lotus sportscar is really nice and cool. It’s red and goes very fast. The engine makes a loud noise which I like a lot. Inside there is leather seats and lots of buttons. The car has special wheels that look amazing. When I drive it people always look at it. The car was expensive but I think it’s worth it because its very special and not many people have one. The car goes from 0 to 60 really quick which is fun. I love showing it to my friends who are always impressed by it. The sound system is also good and plays music loud.

impressed
feeling admiration or respect for something
