    CARB going away - New law - States will not be able to create their own emission standards

    Took the words right out of my mouth, was thinking (and dreaming) the same exact thing! Also, pretty ironic, Lotus is considering moving off of the V6 because it would have trouble passing tougher emission standards coming in Europe, meanwhile the US is killing off the standard that gave them...

    Lotus - summary of financial situation

    Love hearing all the inputs on this, and I hope Lotus is listening! Defintely been a rough patch in the last 4.5 years for any automaker, from Covid and the related supply chain issues, to hard EV mandates in many countries, only to be later recinded/diluted/delayed, causing many resets back to...

    Back to shopping for insurance - need recommendations

    So curious about this as this is still lower than my now corrected State Farm rate by about $160/yr, what are your deductables (comp and collision) and liabilty coverages? Mine are 100k/300k/50k and $1000 ded on both comp and collision. And for what annual mileage?

    Back to shopping for insurance - need recommendations

    So my State Farm agent just got back to me and it's solved but I'm not happy about their seemingly new tactics. Seems they arbitrailly changed my mileage from 400 miles/year to 10k miles per year. I didn't do this. When I questioned them on this, all they could say was "It was changed at the...

    Back to shopping for insurance - need recommendations

    Thanks, but I'm a bit confused. Are you saying Progressive jacked your rate substantially, then you dropped them, went with State Farm, and AFTER you did this, Progressive came back with a comparable rate to State Farm? If that's what you saying then, some questions: When you quoted State Farm...

    Back to shopping for insurance - need recommendations

    Huh, work or errands? What are their other categories and how would they know?

    Back to shopping for insurance - need recommendations

    Well, after enjoying a "honeymoon" period of sorts with my long-standing current insurer, State Farm, I suppose they've decided I'm having way too much fun. After full year of $1,388/yr ($116/mo), they've decided to jack my rate by 85%. Starting this month, my new rate is $2,574/yr ($214). No...

    Who are "The Drivers"

    Around 3500 miles on mine, delivery was June 2024. Two roadtrips, So Cal to Seattle and back. No snow but near freezing temps and wet roads coming back through Oregon where I noticed how unsettled the Goodyears become below 35 degrees F or so. Otherwise some great travels and nearly...

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    Then again, for those willing to compromise a bit on their ideal spec there’s this. We’re not in Kansas anymore Toto back when there were no cars and dealers were threatening ADM markups on new orders yet to be delivered. Many on dealer lots now and not moving it seems.

    Isotype Green in the Flesh

    Wondering now how many of the supposedly limited edition of 60 units have landed/are landing here in the US. Seems a lot more than I had expected. And yes, if and once Isotope becomes a standard extra cost option, this “limited edition” could become just as “exclusive” as the First Editions have...

    Isotype Green in the Flesh

    Looks like Galpin now has 2, both at MSRP.

    Introducing the Clark edition Emira

    “it would be nice to actually see one in the flesh” …and just like that, looks like they brought one to the Miami Grand Prix! Also a more detailed interior pic, looks like the red dash stops at the center display. Jim Clark signature looks embroidered.

    Introducing the Clark edition Emira

    I shared everyone’s eww! first reaction when I saw this two days ago. But I keep coming back to it somehow, can’t look away, like something is calling out to me! Many elements so completely unique, not available in any other Emira. Red Alcantara on seat and wheel, yellow tips, silver topped...

    Emira Clark Edition

    Sorry if this is a duplicate thread, but didn't see this in my search of current threads. Ever since I saw this announcement of the Clark edition a few days ago https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/emira/clark-edition I can't stop looking at it. At first, sort of like a car wreck, I can't look away...

    Spotted: Emiras seen in the wild

    Spotted an Atlantis Blue at the Sand Canyon post office in Irvine on Monday afternoon. Unfortunately didn’t have my Seneca blue with me at the time. Anyone here claim this one?

    Lotus introduces ‘Lotus Chapman Bespoke’

    Looks like it sold at least 7 days ago from the further comments in that FB post. Indications are that it went for the full ask price. Considering when this posted, that means it was locked up the same day or next.

    So Cal PPF installers and customer experiences

    In some defense of Eurocar (my dealer, with whom I now have direct experience with), this post from @Yotus of $10k for PPF is very old, and was way before Eurocar had received any cars, nor had their installers done any actual estimates. Simply a swag by the sales guy. They also let me know that...

    Cars and Coffee events in So Cal

    I didn’t miss your car today but didn’t see anyone around that might have been you! Meanwhile I was parked next to an AC Cobra replica in front of Rockwells I did see @T6061 parked near you and hung out with him for awhile. Too bad we couldn’t park all together.

    Lotus introduces ‘Lotus Chapman Bespoke’

    New FB post from Lotus of Glenview this morning. Appears they may be tacking on a $10k ADM, asking $126,950 against a sticker that clearly says $116,950. And falsely reporting only 15 manufactured. (Maybe it’s 15 imported to the US?)
