What did you do to your Emira today?

Drove it lots! Montauk lighthouse, NY

Learning to tame the car's understeer/oversteer. This car has a very hard time breaking grip unless you're at speed. But once you're there, it wants to rotate quickly. Still trying to figure it out.

When the first Emira’s were making the rounds, I had the opportunity to test drive a yellow one.
The salesman rode along, and during a spirited onramp approach, the back end started to come out a bit unexpectedly.
The salesman was repeatedly saying for me to brake! which made me laugh.
After we got onto the highway, I told him that “you never lift”
I don’t think he had any idea what I was talking about

So true. I love the silver on my Nimbus, but don't wash it very much. Between the bugs and dust, it gets rough after a few drives. I wish I'd gone black to just to cover my sins. I just touched it with a wet rag to see how bad it was.

Pretty bad.

Last fall I powder coated my wheels to a darker charcoal-ish color that I've used before on other cars. I always laugh because I call the color "brake dust".

This morning I was adjusting pressure before a drive and thought about how clean they "look". Here is essentially the same picture of the front wheel with about 300 miles of back roads. I used a wet rag in the same place to wipe off the dust.

This is a pic of the whole wheel before wiping the dust.

Really no comparison.

Nice rims.
I get about the same hue by leaving brake and road dust on my gloss black ones. Yet, yours are great.
