I had the same experience. On the first few drives in the Emira, I was getting back pain and felt very uncomfortable. But after a couple of months, the pain went away, and are now reasonably comfortable. My trick was to skooch my butt well back into the seat, so that the lumbar area hits...

I bought touch-up paint from MG Prime, a German company, about a year ago. Fortunately, I haven't had to use it yet, so I went to check on it.... and it has turned to glue!! 90% of the fluid has evaporated, and what's left of it is the consistency of toffee. I'm certain that the bottle was...

I do the same between AZ and San Diego. I know I-8 like the back of my hand. Do you take I-10? There are a lot trucks on that section.

Your problem sounds a lot like an alternator problem I had with the Evora several years ago. It would lose charge after about 15 minutes (I keep it on a trickle charger), and when the voltage gets too low, all sorts of crazy electronic issues come up, such limp mode, loss of traction control...

I had heat reflective film on my Elise, and I didn't like the distortion and put up with it, because the heat was worse. The distortion was not really bad, but it was noticeable. Of course, this film was on the inside, but still, you would think the inside film would be less robust, and...

I replaced the windshield on my Miata last year for about a $1,000. On my Emira -- $5,000!

Thanks. All my past windshield repairs have been done by Safelite themselves and it was seamless. I contacted Progressive/Safelite, and it sounds like I have to pay first and submit for reimbursement.

I just received a price from my dealer for a new windshield. It was $5,000! It's being covered 100% by Progressive/Safelite, but dealer won't release the car until this is paid in full. Does anyone know if Safelite will make payment immediately upon completion of the job? Lotus Scottsdale is...

Ummm is right.

Scottsdale Lotus, in the Phoenix area.

I currently have a cracked windshield on my Emira. The last time my Evora had a cracked windshield, I went through Safelite and they assured me that they could source a windshield and do the repair. Of course, they couldn't. So, this time around, I asked to have my Lotus dealer do the repair...

Yeah, but if I do that, then the lumbar support misses the mark, and hits me in the middle of my back?

That makes a lot of sense. I always thought that pushing "out" my lower back would actually straighten the spine, but you're saying I would be doing the opposite. Good to know. I'll be sure to reduce or eliminate the lumbar support when driving, especially on rental cars. I too had back pain...

It was a “Lost Comm with ABS”. They checked it initially in May 2024 when I bought the car, and said was a phantom error. So, every time I saw it again, I just cleared it myself. I’ve also had SRS airbag error, and ESC/limp mode errors, that both cleared after a restart. My last software...
