Won’t be picking up my Emira on Friday after all…. The PPF guy wasn’t in this week as planned to wrap the car, so shooting for wrapping now on Monday/Tuesday of next week. Even after waiting patiently for three years I feel kind of bummed. I was going to bring to car and coffee on Saturday, but...

Most non-car people that I know have NO idea what a Lotus is. They know Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, some know McLaren. Thats about it. Once Emira’s hit the street, they will gain brand desirability. Until then, I don’t expect values to go up near term.

James from Throttle House hasn’t been on in a long time. Wonder if his (their) Emira has hit….

Looks great! I asked my dealer not to attach the front plate, though it’s mandatory in my state. I don’t want the bumper drilled. I’m hoping a better solution comes along in the aftermarket.

Mine showed up just over a week ago. I’m getting PPF done now, picking up Friday. As I recall, it was on the 3/29 ship.

And now the curtain is lifted…. So yes, you are an idealist, you gender response confirms it. You do not practice science, you have subscribed to a religion. A religion where truth has no meaning; in its place is the dogmatic religion that you’ve been spoon fed by globalist totalitarians. To...

CO2 is a (mild) greenhouse gas in a vacuum, but in the homogeneous solution of our atmosphere it has almost no impact on warming thanks to the presence of water vapor. You could quadruple the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere (currently at a tiny .04%) and have zero appreciable warming from...

I will absolutely answer your questions once you have answered mine. You met my inquiry with just additional questions- the hallmark of ignorance (I don’t mean as an insult, using the word in its literal form).

Yikes. You’ve clearly fallen for the globalist propaganda, including the whole “world is overpopulated” nonsense. If you think that man made global warming is a thing, can you explain how CO2 drives it? What would be the “correct” parts per million CO2, since 400 odd ppm is “too high” according...

If I did find myself not loving the Emira, I might not sell it outright. Instead, I’d trade it in with Porsche for over MSRP in exchange for a 911 build slot. They are desperate for used cars to sell.

“My car has been delayed again” is even odds.

It’s a full black pack with silver exhaust- I noticed the same. If I can’t swap for stainless then I’ll look to the aftermarket.

I thought that it looked neat when I bought it, and it helps provide clearance to get my legs under, but on a twisty road it’s easy to miss the bottom of the wheel with my hand. Emira’s wheel looks like it will be compounded by an even more eccentric shape and rotational axis. 🫤

I have an Audi with a flat bottom wheel and I still can’t stand it. Color me a bit concerned.

Sigh

In my experience, women couldn’t care less.

He also mentions that the front wheels are toed out in the sport setup- that will make the front end very darty and reduce self-centering. I would set my car up like that for autocross. No mention if touring has the toe out up front.

I’m concerned with the gear change as well. A box that’s not accurate can result in a very expensive money-shift. My old STi box was like that (vague yet notchy), and twice during my ownership I shifted two gears lower than intended while in full attack mode. Unbelievably the motor didn’t...

Not likely. The second the Emira auto is compared to a PDK it’s over, they don’t want that. Manual vs manual is the Emira’s best opportunity to shine.

A little bit of paint and a camera is rendered useless…..

When the electric subsidies are removed, it will be very expensive to run indeed.

June 7….. Ugh….

Agreed- Saturation, vibrancy, black point and contrast all bumped.

The 917 and P4 already came up early on. I didn’t have the money to buy the 917, but I did buy the P4. There are a couple of races that are good for farming credits. One only works thanks to a glitch (you can find the glitch and how to exploit it on YouTube), the other is the 30 minute LeMans...

The license cars are equipped with “comfort” tires in many cases. This is likely your issue. They made a patch recently that fixed some of their physics (your car would suddenly get into a tank-slapper on a straight road, to name one issue), it seems to be better now. It’s difficult to drive a...

Unfortunately it’s so overcast that the Magma car can’t shine!

One of the most beautiful designs ever. I want to kick myself for not buying one back when they were relatively cheap in the ‘90s ($25k).

Now maybe we could get a TV show together with the Lotus and a good-looking P.I. - instant classic!

The word was supposed to be “play”. My iPhone loves to change words on its own 😑.

The flat section is at the 10:30 o’clock position. If it were TDC you would have an even greater gap since the flat section will come into okay.

That’s the exact point that I’m making- the wheel is oblong- more on one side than the other.

You can see in these photos how the wheel does not steer evenly (and he not even cranked over all of the way).

Nothing beats pop-up headlights. Nothing.

I’d love to see the Lotus Communication Team’s “Doug Score”…

Agree. Makes me feel like I have OCD watching the wheel pivot in such an odd fashion. Who at Lotus thought that such an odd shape was a good idea? Maybe they should drive ANY Porsche….

I don’t care for the Emira steering wheel either. I’d prefer the Evora wheel.

If this were an American car they’d sell the decal kit for extra money as a “collector’s edition”. 😉
