That's unfortunate. I did an oil change myself at 1k miles and it was maybe 40 minutes of work, and I don't have a shop lift or zap zap tools.

Yes the price will get adjusted upward. There's no way Lotus and the dealers eat the cost. For those of us with Emira's in hand, it does mean the resale value will hold stronger. If, for whatever reason, Emira's keep getting made and keep getting more expensive resale values will continue to...

Lotus does not own Park Place LTD. Park Place is a certified dealer and service company in network for Lotus USA. If lotus stops selling cars it will hurt Park Place, but they won't close, and likely they'd remain a certified Lotus service center.

I'm guessing there is a good chance some of those cars were a bit rushed, but I'm hoping as many people as possible got their orders and I'm truly sorry for anyone who has a car coming that didn't get on that boat. As others have indicated, dealerships will basically be informing those folks...

I don't think its as dramatic as the elemental samples. But yes, Osmium is a bright silver. I almost purchased Osmium, but 1. I already have a silver car and didn't want the two to sit next to each other (the Evo would not fair well in the comparison) and 2. Wife thought the Osmium was a bit...

BRICS has already shown to fail. It did most recently and it won't survive. The biggest threat to the dollar right now is the current administration as they are going to attempt a pivot into Crypto, which is an abysmal plan. What happens to crypto currencies once you can break the blockchain...

Kinda smart. Except the QC out of the North American facilities has been abysmal. Basically any 3 Letter G-model that wasn't built in Germany as an AMG model is suspect to having the body harness replaced. I personally know 3 People who had to after months of back and forth to the dealer for...

Likely not true, since it was in my lifetime. Under Clinton we actually had a budget surplus and paid down debt. The debt didn't go away but it did get paid down. Overall, there are just lots of different ways to look at the national debt, the reality is, it will never go to 0, mutually with...

Not to mention. Toyota had a big issue with Engine Sludge for the v6 Models that share this engine. Toyota never really owned fault and wanted to push that it was a negligence and abuse issue, yet also allowed a mechanism for claims and fixes/pay outs. So, publicly never declared a fault but...

Personally, if I was going to do this, I'd probably look into running the alcantara in a strip covering the sticker but have the edges folded over and stitched to look more intentional Looking more like a "stripe" down the center of the visor, not a flap that perhaps has a mirror hidden behind it.

Post race weekend in F1 China? Where Lotus....crashed a car, and also had the medical car as the Emeya? That's my guess anyway. Also just Lotus kinda referring to getting back into racing.

I thought your car still broken? Did the Axle already get replaced?

I think it is pumping through the speakers even if you have the radio off. I could be wrong, but my understanding is, you don't have to be bopping to a song or listening to an audiobook for these engine noises to be piped in through the speakers.

I wonder who they used to develop that. The guys who produce Planted are a tuning company here in WA near me, last season technically i was one of their sponsored drivers
