I guess we'll find out how much attention it gets. My Elise generally was ignored by women, guarded interest from grown men, and made elementary and middle school kids go berserk.

"How fast does it go?"

Answer: I don't know, I stole it from some rich guy.

The "ensure that my cars are in the highest state of mechanical condition and maintenance" part could be tough (I haven't experienced anything serious... yet), but yeah, I agree with most of the other parts.

Maybe this tweak to the language would ease the burden significantly ;)
"ensure that my cars are in the highest state of mechanical condition and maintenance carefully maintained to the state that they left the factory"

This will be my first car that I assume will get constant attention. When I went to the Eletre reveal this weekend the Emiras were among Lambos, Astons, Ferraris, McLaren's, Shelbys, Koenigseggs. The first thing that popped into my mind while staring at @DaaS spec (lol) was that people aren't gonna know what the hell kind of car this is, it might as well be a Lambo or Ferrari. It is a concern for me because it just brings attention from everyone including neighbors. Typically my weekend drives are over by 9:30am so I can stay relatively low key but this will be a new experience for me. I like those rules, or shall we say "guidelines."

The first thing I will always say is, oh, it just a Lotus, it has a Camry V6 in it!
We don’t get Camrys in the UK so no one would know what I’m on about. 😁

Thinking about supercar engines isn’t the new GT40 fitted with a 3.5 V6?
If a 3.5 V6 is good enough for Ford we are looking good. 👍🏻

How about a:

Toyota Avalon, Highlander, Lexus ES350, Rav4, Sienna, Corolla, and about a dozen more. The engine is everywhere!

I remember the first time someone let me sit in their Lambo. It was a Balboni Gallardo in yellow with that awesome racing stripe and a manual transmission. He saw me just staring at it and walked over and just opened the door and told me to have a seat. It was awesome. He even had me put down the window and closed the door for a picture. It was a really fun experience that Ill remember and only took 3 minutes out of his day.

Not in the Corolla. I wish! That would be the hottest of hatches.

Well, I suppose it all depends on what she looks like.
