Comparison: Lotus Emira vs GT

[ManOfSteel]

Agreed. I settled for Hethel Yellow because I couldn't get Krypton Green, the color I had always wished my Elise had been painted.

Ditto, I could have written the same post.

Motorsport Green! Why couldn’t they make an Emira in Motorsport Green?!?!

I know right? That and at least one orange would have been the obvious choices.

Motorsport Green with factory yellow stripes? I'd have done it for sure.

Sometimes I look at Evora GTs for sale on BaT, remember when I rented one for 4 days, and think I should have gotten one of those instead of my Emira. The zanier, less coherent styling, cooler colors, and cheaper-feeling-but-more-unique-and-racecar interior, have an attraction of their own.

Thankfully, I now have peace about my decision to go with the Emira.

So, last night I had a dream. I was at my parents house, and for some reason, my dad had a rented orange with black cat scratches Evora GT in his driveway. What a perfect opportunity to drive it and compare it to my Emira.

So I did. Findings from “the test drive of my dreams”:

- I could hardly get into the car. And the position of the steering wheel was such I could barely drive.
- the electronic parking brake didn’t work, the car kept sliding backward down my dad’s driveway toward his lawn, almost making me crash. That’s right, this GT didn’t even have the handbrake. Yesch!
- Steering wasn’t as good as the Emira
- We had a car full of groceries for some reason, even though we hadn’t been shopping for groceries, and we needed to drop them off at my house, but first we had to stop at Rosa’s Cantina for lunch, no, not the one from the Marty Robbins ballad but the Tex-Mex chain restaurant in Texas

All this put together, I have determined that I am happy I bought my Emira.

So there’s the answer to the question that I and all of you have been asking, based on my dream.

Your opinion of a car you had a dream about… . Extremely valid and as good as any YouTubers review! Lol. Dying….

Granted, I did actually rent an Evora GT for a 4 day period back in November 2021.

Apart from that actual experience, I like to reference my dream as a legitimate experience.

It's kind of like Val Kilmer who (I'm paraphrasing here) once argued that as a method actor, he could more accurately represent the experience of fighting in Vietnam than someone who actually fought in Vietnam.

Between my dreams and endless internet review videos and opinions, I think I can review most cars without actually driving them. We'll call it the Val Kilmer approach. It starts with me playing with a Hot Wheels version of a given car in the living room floor of my house while making vroom sounds.

Speaking as someone with a monetized YouTube channel, I think you're actually overqualified.
