Hello! Super excited to join the forums and the Lotus family with the purchase (well deposit as of July 19) on a new Lotus Emira. Here is the spec I chose:
I'm still not 100% certain on my color or interior, I'm really hoping I'll get the opportunity to see an actual photo (or better yet in-person) the various colors - hopefully the RoadShow details will drop soon. I'm torn between Shadow Grey, Nimbus Grey, and Seneca Blue. No matter which choice, I'm going with a black pack and black wheels.
I placed my deposit via my local dealer (Motorcars of Atlanta) on 19 July.
As for a bit about me, I work in technology, based out of Atlanta, GA. While originally from greater Atlanta, I've worked and traveled all over, including a two year stint down under in Melbourne, Australia. Beyond cars, I enjoy mountain biking, the outdoors, and computing.
I'm a bit of a track rat, I participate in and have started instructing as part of HPDE events here in the Atlanta area (Jzilla track days). My current stable consists of the following:
2013 Subaru BRZ (Supercharged) - primarily my track and performance driving vehicle
2004 Subaru WRX STI (Stage II) - primarily my "around town" car, have tracked a few times, but it's more fun around town and in the mountains:
1995 Mazda Miata - technically the wife's ride, but I drive this around the neighborhood and occasionally at AutoX
2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road - the wife's daily and the utilitarian vehicle
As of today, no plans to get rid of any of the other vehicles when the Emira arrives, which I guess means I'm a car hoarder? The Emira will be my first Lotus, although I'm not a complete stranger to the family - my best friend here in Atlanta has a blue 2005 Elise which I've had the pleasure of driving and I've seen my fair share of Elises, Exiges, and Evoras on track.
