I don't think the views he is getting is worth him making an effort on. YouTube is a hobby for him. Maybe the McLaren was something on his list that he needed to cross off. Maybe he will rotate back to a Lotus. That would scream redemption to all the Lotus owners.

I tried working with AMT tweeters maybe 10 years ago. They can definitely be used very effectively in excellent designs. However, my experience is that for the same price range, regular dome tweeters have better selection and performance, and they are more of a tried and true design with better...

B&W are, IMO, a bunch of hacks of dubious talent. Very few people knew how to design speakers properly in the 70s and 80s when a lot of the underlying research and work was being done by various well known individuals and companies. B&W was among those companies but they pretty much stopped...

Yea, I would generally trust dealers the least. They usually don't know anything - and worse, they often pretend they do and make up things just to have something to say.

Ultrasonic sensors send a beam of high frequency sound. It calculates size and distance of object by phase and magnitude of the detected reflection.

Okay, so I guess it's situation normal.

Yea, the beep is slightly annoying but it also puts up the parking graphics on the screen. I don't have a front plate.

I don't see anything yet from that ship. It's already at Norfolk so it likely didn't have any Lotus cars on board.

Anyone experience their parking sensors going off in stop and go traffic? For me it's always the LHD driver front sensor that triggers. It doesn't happen all the time, but happens enough to be slightly annoying. I believe it's detecting a car in the front because it has happened with no car on...

Nothing so far... which ship was this?

I drove to my local Toyota dealer and got the filter there.

I don't know if cars are cleared any differently, but it usually takes less than a day for normal goods to clear customs. As long as the paper work is in order, they are typically "waved through" and the clearance is issued electronically without any actual inspection or processing of the goods...

IMO, traveling is different, though. We spend *much* more on travel than we do on cars. Personally, I think people should travel far and often, and there are inexpensive ways to do it, especially if you are young. On a trip to Panama we met this guy in his early 30s, with a tattered passport...

Lets keep in mind that the vast majority of cars bought/sold in the US are used cars: used cars outsells new cars by a 2-3x multiple in the US. The median HHI of a brand new Toyota Camry buyer is going to be higher than the national median HHI. Here's a JD Powers article from 2018 showing the...

The info I have are *arrivals*. The manifests are for cars that have arrived in the US. So if your car got loaded on a boat 6/18, it would take 2-3 weeks before it shows up in the US.

No problem. Maybe it's on a different boat. Let's hope it will be here soon!

Yea, I double checked and it's correct. :P

There was an order submission form with your name on it. They should be able to get a copy of that. Regardless, it's not like they are arguing with you on this. Just a sh*tty situation.

Good to know. I have had multiple sets of the DWS 06 and currently has a set of the newer "Plus" variant on our family sedan. I was curious about getting the PS A/S 4s this time around for the Emira. So you think the DWS 06 retains more of a sporty edge against the Michelin? In what way?

Nothing posted yet... :(

Yea, I personally would ask for some accommodations. It's actually pretty amazing that they were able to find one so close in spec. To me, none of the above would be deal breakers - in fact I would prefer the diamond wheels, touring suspension, and privacy glass. :ROFLMAO:

+1 on the ceramic coating. I have CQuartz UK 3.0 on mine and all it takes is a blast from the power washer and it's 97.6% clean.

The Emira is going to be a year round car for me, so I'm getting either the DWS 06 or Pilot All Season 4s after the stock good years wear out. Both are available in the Emira's OEM size.

Unfortunately, there isn't any way to get line level signal out of the system because the entire signal chain uses a A2B digital data bus. Your only option is to tap the high level signals from the subwoofer amplifier output.

Yea, I would think so. The OEM subwoofer is a dual voice coil design, and the installer would just need to tap one set of the wires to get the signal to an aftermarket subwoofer. They would then need to set the phase, crossover frequency, and level of the aftermarket subwoofer to get it dialed...

Never heard this in mine. Maybe your exhaust valve opened?

I love this photo comparison.

Yea, I think Lamborghini and Aston Martin are doing great car designs. Ferrari is hit or miss for me - my current favorite is the Roma. The 911 does look very nice. They have optimized that design quite nicely.

I like it!

There is no common solution for everyone. Cars sold in the US were/are different than those in Europe and it would be rather foolish to think that the entire world can be aligned under one "EV-only" standard just because one of the better well-to-do small European countries is having a great go...

The engine's CG is in front of the rear wheel, although probably not as much as a Ferrari or Lambo. The location of the engine is limited by the transmission choice, it's kind of stuck there. The engine could probably be moved forward more if they make it longitudinal mount and switch to a...

Very cool! So you jack up the car using the rear jack points and then lower the wheels onto these stands?

I don't think anyone knows... I would have guessed 1500-2000 cars total for MY2024. Looks like they are probably getting close to 1500 cars already. They should be switching over to I4 and V6 auto production soon for MY2025. I have no idea if Lotus plans to continue making FE cars until the...

Sorry to hear about that. It's always a possibility. But If it is something important, you definitely want Lotus taking care of it versus your dealer. So out of a bad situation, Lotus working on it directly is the less-bad option. They could also have just left it at the back of the lot. Ask...

Some lucky winner got a car delivered on 6/8 in Baltimore. Just one car. They are messing with us.

I discovered an error in the sum formula. It's been more than that.. I updated.

Definitely all about perspective! I have touring suspension on mine and it is *firm enough*. The suspension does an admirable job of feeling rather plush by filtering out the smaller high frequency bumps. But if the roads have medium frequency to undulating imperfections, the car feels firm and...

If you have bird droppings, or dried-on leaves that leave behind a light haze in the paint once cleaned off, and it seems as if it has etched the paint, this may not be true! After the paint experiences some heat under the sun, the haze will clear up itself. Some people even use a hair dryer to...
