A&Q about Lotus
Q:
- all the accidents that happen to your car are while there is nobody in it
- you're 23 and your back hurts, always (25 now and my back is still hurting)
- you can't put a front license plate on your car because it will either damage the bumper or disrupt the aerodynamics
- there's a message board just for you and other mostly happy friendly owners
----------------------------------
Feel free to add on, just thought this would be a nice way to start the day and post what we love and think is funny about the car
A:
I drove my new (used) car back from lotus of south bay yesterday. In LA, my butt and lower back felt were already starting to feel it. Once I hit the open highway, all was smooth and fine! I just had to keep my butt from falling asleep :P No pain today, though
Ill get some picts up of the car soon! Need to wash it..

Ya, that's me driving to work everyday. There's this one turn when I'm just about to get off the freeway and I switch lanes to pass everyone and I'm holding on for dear life. I feel so high too. Maybe I should start eating breakfast.

WHEN: all new home considerations revolve around the garage arrangement.
WHEN: The "Lotus position" does not bring to mind an oriental sexual position of delight nor refer to any form of computer language.
WHEN: the expression "Lotus brings out the worst in other drivers" is completely understood with loads of up close and personal life experiences to back it.
WHEN: you can immediately retort with some smart butt answer to the question, "Lotus, who makes it?" without having to give it a seconds thought.
WHEN: parking location becomes of significant importance.
WHEN: you find yourself replying to posts on Elise talk and other Lotus web sites with an increasing degree of regularity.
WHEN: having to go out to the garage and tinker with the car is a good thing.
WHEN: You use the word Lotus in a conversation at least once in the course of a day, every day.
WHEN: All vacation planning is in-addition to the yearly trip to LOG. You all are going to LOG26 are you not?

[No Elise yet but still applicable]
*You complain about having to spend $40 on a new pair of jeans, but will spend $400 on your car without batting an eye.
*That $400 you spent on a particular part not too long ago, you are considering spending again. You rationalize this because that same part is "new and improved".
*After you have parked the car and are walking away, you have to look back and view it from a distance at least once.
*When you go to a resturaunt you try to park where the car can be seen from inside. When inside you try to sit where you can see your car.
