There are paint jobs and then there are paint jobs. I think some cars would stand up to a carwash with nary a problem. I love my Emira, I just don’t trust that it would fare well in an automated carwash.

Brave man! I wouldn’t recommend that if you have the upper black pack. I think a car wash would, in the words of my father, “scratch the fool out of the paint”. Kudos to you for treating it like an object and not a baby!

Now that we have that settled, who wants to talk about politics?

I'll hold my breath on the white until I see it in the flesh. I think Mist White, upper black pack, red interior, could look great.

Osmium owner, here to defend my choice! Osmium, in my opinion, highlights the contours of the car the best in the most lighting conditions. To my taste, Nimbus and Magma can look incredible in photos, but in the flesh don't pop unless under ideal conditions. They also don't highlight the...

Yes but I need people who I don't know that drive by my fancy house to THINK that I'm wealthy! Who doesn't want the approval of people they don't know?

Yes, assuming current tax law stays the same, and you don’t need to withdraw more than you planned, and you don’t need to withdraw money during a downturn, etc., etc., etc., all that can go according to plan. It probably does much of the time for many people. In the aggregate. However, there’s...

There’s this nasty little thing called tax. It’s pretty good at eroding those 10% gains.

I wish the Emira had analog gauges!

The reasoning he explained doesn't quite make sense to me, but then again it doesn't have to. He has the reasons he expressed, and maybe some he doesn't care to share. Can't jump inside his head or argue the relative value of his personal reasoning. The direction that Lotus is going has nothing...

Maybe he has a YouTube channel that is dependent on views, the hype on the Emira is dying down, and he wants/needs a new car to make more content. He already made quite a few videos on the Emira. He may have exhausted the viewers who want to see content for that car. I think there will be...

I love that your kids are enjoying it too! My kids really dig getting to ride in Daddy’s Lotus”! I have very fond memories of riding with my dad in his 1976 Triumph TR6 or 1969 Mustang Mach 1 when I was a kid. It sparked a lifelong passion for cars, one that I still share with him. That sort...

This kit ruins the organic design of the Emira.

That stinks!

Other than improved looks/lowering, what ride or handling issue are you trying to resolve or improve with the Nitron shocks?

Excellent advice.

Looks great! How is the ride quality? com'è la qualità di guida

And how! They're the best "luxury" purchases I have ever made!

Ain’t that the truth! My parents are in their mid 70’s. My Dad still works 2-3 days a week, because he enjoys it, and it gives him just enough income that he doesn’t have to touch retirement accounts unless there’s something big he wants to do or buy. They started traveling a lot about 5 years...

Also, I plan on keeping this car. Forever. When I buy, which is rare, I get exactly what I want. So I don’t care much about it depreciating, as the resale value is detached from what I value the car to be. I also valued buying this car brand new and getting to configure it to my spec. This...

A few thoughts. First: Can you get an Emira and meet your financial obligations and responsibilities to your spouse and children, (assuming you have both, or either)? Second: If you buy the car now, and realize that it wasn’t a good financial decision, you can always sell it. Yes, you will...

The title says it all. I am about to do my first oil change, and I wondered if an EZ oil drain valve (1) will fit (2) works as advertised without leakage. Thanks!

I’ve said this on other threads- I think the design is better than the usual higher-end sportscars/supercars the Emira is compared to. The proportions looks better to my eye than those of a 458/488 or a huracan. It definitely looks less “exotic”, but I think the design proportions and scale is...

Are there any forum members out there with the Larini exhaust? I have watched the videos and read the threads from RevMonkey, I just didn’t know if anyone else had it.

I didn’t think I’d like cosmos black at all until I saw one in person when I picked my osmium silver up. Very underrated color! It looks great in person.

Awesome cars! Evora GT vs Emira... your thoughts?

Tell us more about the 904!

No

I love it. I would have chosen it if it were a factory option.

Looks fantastic!

I went back and forth on the ice gray interior too. I’m glad I ended up with the ice gray. It adds a nice contrast without being over the top. It also lightens up the interior space.

No other color shows the lines and subtle curvatures of the Emira like Osmium Silver. I am very glad I chose this color. I sometimes look at photos of Meridian and Atlantis blue, and Vivid Red and think I should have gotten something more "interesting", but I think this car will look the best...

Y’all just keep thinking up ways to make me order more and more from your website!

Maybe you just like the feel of the Porsche better? In which case, good for you for being able to identify specifically what you like better. That’s easier said than done.

The Emira is the main most interesting car of the bunch, that’s why!

They seem like true car nuts. Open to many different price categories and all manufacturers. Nots snobs at all. They represent the best kind of car guys. Like Jay Leno and Barry Meguiar. The type of guys that appreciate a Konigsegg and a Honda Civic built in the driveway by a teenager. I enjoy...

I got both this week, thank you again for putting these together. I am very pleased with the result! My wife was very impressed too!

I didn’t receive one when I picked my car I in March. I emailed the dealer today about it. Hopefully I’ll have one soon.

I just checked my sticker. Yup, it should have been in the car when delivered.

Since y’all are below the equator, the battery charges up instead of draining down when the car isn’t in use. Kind of like how the water in the toilet swirls the opposite direction from here. I’m pretty sure that’s how science and thus electrons work.
