Yes, if your beverage container is tall it will impede your shifting. The 10 oz. Yeti and others of similar height seem to work okay, especially when just the rear cupholder is used.
I have two of the Yeti 10 oz. tumblers. They're about $20 each. They're low enough that they don't really hamper your shifting. The downside is... they only hold 10 ounces.The lid is splash-proof but not completely water tight; you wouldn't want to set it sideways (when full) in the door...
The Ferrari F430 and Lamborghini Gallardo each had less than 10% of production as manual transmissions, so they command a hefty premium over the automatic. The Emira First Edition had 86% as manuals. FWIW, my dealer *thinks* Lotus may discontinue the V6 so the manual would go away also if that...
Quick video on the four jacking points for an Emira. Works if you're using a floor jack or a lift. Note: for the lift, the car is really low. We needed to use two extra rubberized pads in front and one in the rear, due to clearance issues.
Video also shows the underside of the car.
Here's a video for anyone looking to change their own brake pads. I'll post a review later (after my track day) about how the EBC pads performed on track.
I have a few friends going to VIR Grand Course Oct 31 (Thursday/ Halloween)with TrackDaze. $395 for one day (solo only - no Instruction on Thursday). But I think they have instruction available Friday for the Full Course.
Hello everyone, our family just incurred a very large HVAC expense, so I am dropping out of the group order. I've already informed BagWorld (who were understanding).
