I have fretted way too much over what the right decision is for me on whether to do full, partial, or no PPF, and what other options I might want. Here is what I am currently thinking about doing. Of course, my car is a couple of months away so I may change my mind before I get it: • Paint...

I've never done PPF before, so I do not have anyone to recommend or any experiences to relate. I have emailed around a little getting some general quotes from shops that seemed to have overall positive reviews online and have been in business for a while. Envious Detailing noted above has...

I haven't used them before so don't take this as a recommendation, but I am considering trying https://www.enviousdetailing.com. They do STEK.

Assuming it works with an iPhone 14 Pro Max, I'm in. 1. @Rapture 2. @Bilbao-Emira 3. @Medic518 4. @GlynV6 5. @Porter 6. @squish 7. 8. 9. 10.

I’d probably take 2 as well.

I'm planning to daily mine in Orange County, but I work from home so typically only do about 5k/year.

I believe @GRP has said on the Evora you could use QJ along the frame rails and it was fine, and he believes the same is true for the Emira.

I got my consolation prize today. Journal, pen, hat, metal Emira shaped black keychain (very heavy), postcard, drawing.

This pretty much mirrors my story. I live quite close to Eurocar but went with Galpin because I thought it would get me a car sooner. I’m a Nov 21 depositor and got an FE2 allocation with no ADM.

A buddy of mine says he saw one in Orange County last week. He's an exotic car guy and professional mechanic in his 60's, so I know he wasn't mistaken in what he saw. It could have been a dealer car out for a joy ride.

I wanted to expand on my previous post about this. I apologize for the rant, but maybe this will save others here of the same headache I have gone through. TLDR; Based on my experience with the accident noted in my previous post, and my interaction with BlackVue support, I will no longer...

With USAA, family members need to be the generation of the service member or later. So, spouses, kids, grandkids, etc. of a service member can join, but the parents or grandparents of a service member cannot. With Navy Federal you can be any relation to a service member. And while the web site...

I got a quote from my regular insurance company, but I am curious about specialty insurance for the agreed value. What happens if the car is totaled 3 years from now? Do they pay out the entire agreed value? So essentially there is no depreciation over time?

I have BlackVue cams in a couple of my cars. Today, my wife was in an accident (while driving my M3 :(). 100% not her fault - guy (without a license or proof of insurance) pulled out of a gas station, crossed 3 lanes, and drove right into the side of her as she was heading straight down the...

Never admit you have a dashcam. If someone notices, just say it hasn't been working lately. Wait until you have had a chance to review footage yourself, and only then bring it out if it supports your case. Also, it is a good idea to turn off the feature that overlays your speed on the footage...

Oh wow, this brings back a bunch of memories. I was at this race, but I was only 4 years old :) My dad raced, and I spent most of my early childhood here as this was our local track (local still being an hour away). I have many fond memories of Riverside, back in the day where a kid had the...

This is far from over. We still have V6 autos and i4’s we are waiting for. Can we make it to 1000?

I’m in for the service manual.

If money is no object, in order of preference... Ferrari F40 McLaren P1 McLaren 750s Ferrari 458 And I would drive any of them as much as possible, just as I intend to drive my Emira if it ever shows up. I was present for the debut race of the F40 LM at Laguna Seca. We were running a Lola...

Agree. As cute/funny as it may seem, given all the crap that everyone has gone through waiting for their Emira this seems like a pretty tasteless jab at your customer base.

The fact is that for both Galpin and Eurocar, Lotus is an extremely small percentage of their business. They sell a lot more of their other brands and make greater margins on their other brands. Not trying to make excuses for them, but it kind of makes sense from a business standpoint that the...

That hasn’t been my experience with them. They have been pretty responsive to me 🤷‍♂️

I thought I read the 135 packs the batteries back where the engine would go, like the Evija? This would give cg and handling characteristics more like an ICE car.

I think @GRP has something similar.

I have a close friend that works pretty high up at a different major automobile manufacturer. He said they have run into issues with CARB cert before, and the ECU tweaks they had to make to pass had no impact on the HP of the car.

Your dealer heard it from a customer, who read it here :p

The email to the automatic transmission deposit holders said their cars would be MY 2025 and would be delivered this summer 🤷‍♂️

This is the version of that email for those of us who ordered autos. I think this is the first official communication I have directly received from Lotus about my order.

For some reason whenever I look at the diamond cut wheels I am reminded of the Hot Wheels cars I played with as a kid. I just can’t get that out of my head.

I'm sure some of us SoCal folks would be happy to break it in for you and return it in the summer :p

Unless I missed something, the V6 auto is delayed until mid-2024. The i4 was delayed until 2025.

I don't have my Emira yet, but in my wife's car (Chevy Suburban) I see DAB stations come and go all the time. As standard radio signals get weaker the sound diminishes and gets more static, but DAB stations cut out entirely. And if the signal cuts out for enough time, often the station just...

For an FE 2.0 in CA: MSRP (my spec) $109,480 Destination charge 2350 Tax (approx) 8700 DMV fees 1,100 Total: 121,630 Add PPF, car cover, dashcam, battery tender, exhaust valve...

Wawanesa. They only service California and Oregon I believe.

This is from Grundy's website under their classic cars section. Would this not apply to something like the Emira as well? I plan to daily my Emira, so I'll probably just use my regular car insurance. They quoted me $1800/year and would lower the price on my F80 M3 by $250/year since I would be...

Has anyone been able to pinpoint what it is that is getting wet and causes the problems? Seems like something that could be prevented if you knew what needs protection from water.

I think I'm still OK with my V6 auto choice.
