Any other young buyers?
As seems common with many forums related to cars in this price range, the demographics seem to skew a bit older. Nothing wrong with that, but just wondering if there are any other young (20's) buyers in here? A few questions: 1. What is your intended use case? I am (perhaps too...

Man... when I was pre-23 I would have put that $100K into investments. Even now at 43, I know I probably should, but also have that mid-life crisis itch.
Hah same here....is 38 old enough for a mid-life crisis? If not, I'm sure I'm getting close. All I could afford in college years was my $2,000 1987 Toyota MR2 but I loved that thing. I couldn't imagine being able to drive an Emira in college. It probably would've gotten me in so much trouble.
Put the 100k in a high risk fund, wait 20 years and then retire early. However, I was young once, and spent all my money on cars, so I mean I understand.
I too was once young and foolish. But many many years later after lots of sustained effort I am no longer young.
38 here too. I have my house and investments and fun daily driver in order. I don't want to wait until my knees hurt too much to enjoy my fun sportscar!
I wouldn't want a $100k car in college. I had a 10 year old 300ZX and eventually saved enough for my 2004 STi, which I felt very fortunate to get.
This just doesn't seem like a wise parenting strategy to me, nor a particularly safe one. But hey, if you got it, flaunt it I guess!

So is it really true people cannot pick up their cars -- they just have to chill at the dealership until approval?
Not sure if this was posted yet but Lotus Cape Fear in Wilmington, NC had 5 Emiras arrive yesterday. 3 blue, 1 red, and 1 nimbus. Mine hasn't arrived yet but I imagine it'll be there before Christmas as it was on one of the boats a week ago.
Some of them have been arriving quite dirty. I guess they're removing all the protective coverings and doing some sort of QC at the port and then putting them in covered trucks. Somewhere along the way some of them have been exposed to some rough weather. I suspect they must have left them outside for at least a day or two in the rain after doing the QC check and loading them onto the trucks. Apart from some correctible paint swirls, my dealer tells me the quality looks quite good after a thorough cleaning and some paint correction.

You got privacy glass that you did not order. How is that possible? Is it purely a mistake from Lotus factory? Or did you take over someone else’s order? thanks.

Today I checked out the Seneca Blue car that was delivered to the Dallas dealership as I wanted to see that color in person. It’s gorgeous! Looks great with black wheels and yellow calipers. Without seeing them side by side, Seneca seems to be very close in color to my Refraction Blue Supra.
They also had the V2 color chips to look at. In my hunt for it, I actually overlooked Meridian as it appeared basically black to my eyes in the showroom lighting. It’s much too dark for my taste. Atlantis is lovely though. I wish I remembered to take a pic of both of them compared to the Seneca car. :/
