Man, ain't no denying! And it's one of the less-popular color choices...

Nice. If that were full PPF, that’s a great deal.

I don’t know whether or not this is still policy, but for a good long while Dallas, Texas would not prosecute those who stole "necessary items" up to $750. I certainly have sympathy for someone who feels they have to steal food or baby formula to feed their family; I have no sympathy for...

I don’t get angry at someone who wants to test the law, as long as they don’t crow about it when a court finds them guilty. Figure out a way to save tax money legally as the law is written? Cool! Don’t blame the guy that figured it out, blame the people that wrote the tax law. Doing something...

Fantastic! Cal-en-dar, cal-en-dar, cal-en-dar!

Thank you very much!

Good morning y’all. I have to get my car towed to the dealership, and long story short, I need the front tow hook/eyelet. Problem is that it is in the trunk, which I cannot open because the battery is dead. I will save the long story of what went wrong with the car for another day, I am just...

Meridian blue gets my vote for best dark color. Black looks cool too, but I haven’t seen enough photos to say if I like it better or not, so Meridian it is!

It certainly wouldn’t make that space any hotter.

Do I hear re-designed diffuser and lower balance with center exit exhaust?

Interesting design. I wonder how much difference in power it will make. Going back to my Mustang days, an X pipe on a V8 would typically make a bit more power, but an H pipe sounded "better", meaning more throat and less rasp.

Second vote for 3rd cat delete and valve controller! I don’t think it’s easy to compare exhausts based on YouTube clips of different systems on different days in different condition on different cars. The Valvetronic video does sound great, though! I think if we Emira owners knew who the...

Somehow that makes it way cooler than a $375k Italian sportscar. It manages to be more accessible and rarer at the same time.

I refuse to mount a front plate. That’s committing a crime against style, and the victim is everyone on the road passing by my car. I won’t have that on my conscious.

I’m loving mine! Sometimes I think it’s silly to spend what I did on a car. Then I drive my Emira, and any doubt disappears!

If I could choose any color, or paint to sample, I would pay it. The cost of a true OEM/factory level custom paint job is just beyond what I’d ever be willing to pay. Plus, I trust virtually nobody to take the car apart and put it back together again correctly, which would be necessary to get a...

$10 says it’s the spacers. Your car looks awesome!

You know how I know you’re a car enthusiast? This. Existential crisis over the authenticity of exhaust sounds. I didn’t give thought to this before, but now I do, thanks to you, and it haunts me. Then again, doesn’t everyone suspect they’re a phony, on some level, deep down inside? Can’t we...

Hopefully you have an email or text where they admitted liability. My suggestion is that any correspondence between you and the shop be conducted via a means that can be recorded. State laws vary on recording phone conversations. Texas, for example, is one party consent. My 2 cents- I’d try...

Once you’ve seen the best color, you do t have to see it over and over again for 29 pages.

I’m usually 190-200, no limp mode. I live in central Texas, which is quite hot and fairly humid. The engine always seems strong and happy at those temps.

Great combo!

Looks great!

Great looking wheels!

The Bose system in our family Mazda is bangin’! The Bose system in my brother’s Cadillac is not.

Seems like the sound has improved over time since I’ve had mine. Or maybe it was just my imagination, running away from me.

Very nice photo. OS all the way!

Lotus branded tube socks. The hand is about to "grab life by the ankles" and pull on some light weight socks.

Lotus makes some odd choices when it comes to user interface. Start the car without the clutch pedal depressed? No problem. Cruise control disengagement when shifting? Inconvenient. Exhaust in loudest setting unless in track mode? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

I think those sorts of rankings/personality charts fall apart completely among real-deal car enthusiasts. For example, I’d have no problem owning, driving, or being seen in a Ford Fiesta ST, because the car represents a fantastic compact sports sedan with unique engineering. The same way I can...

Very annoying, but thankfully it can probably be refinished!

Very cool! I’d like to have the same for my car.

Great dedication to your passion!

You ain't working on your car unless you make at least 1 unplanned trip to the store during install.

Why did I have 2 Rockford Fosgate 12s and all the other gear? My brother worked at BestBuy one summer and got anything in the store for cost + 5%, or something like that. You knew my system was bangin' hard because the headlights would dim when the bass hit at idle! My brother didn't think I...

I had mine done, would do again. No appreciable drop in clarity of light output.

My first car was a 1991 Ford Taurus SHO. I got it in 2001. 220 HP from a DOHC 3.0 Yamaha V6 with dual length intake runners and a 5 speed manual transmission. Pretty stout for it's day. Anyway, it had an electrical gremlin that 16 year-old-me didn't have the skill or patience to track down and...

Go for it! The first time you do anything on a car is a pain! But it's worth it. I have never, ever, gotten my car back together after a DIY and thought, "man, a shop would have done a better job than me". Hubris? Maybe. However, when I get my car back together, I know it was done correctly...

This is yet another chapter in the long saga of Lotus. It isn't the final one. If Geely wants to dump it, someone will come in and buy the brand new, pretty factory for a song, and continue making the already developed and tested cars for as long as possible. If necessary, they can add new...

Also, I really don't care for McLaren styling. Next to the Emira, it's simultaneously busier and more boring!
