My biggest gripe is that I do not plan driving the Loti very often. The result? I am charging the battery now as I type.
Woe is me. 3 out of 5 bikes needs charging. Where does the time go?
? Well, do they?
A:
My biggest gripe...
Lotus didn't build a test track less within 20 miles of my home that I could get access to on a regular basis.
My second biggest gripe...
There aren't enough autocross events within 1 hour driving distance of my home.
Aside from that... less rain, more sunshine, smoother roads, less traffic, higher speed limits.
Oh wait, gripes about the car or gripes the car created? No gripes about the car yet...

The manufacturer isn't held responsible, though. You may personally get a ticket for breaking emissions laws, but all sorts of racing equipment is manufactured and used that will not pass emissions and is not intended for highway use. Lots of car manufacturers make stuff that is intended for off-road use only.

all of these stereo complaints.....I find my factory alpine to be very easy to operate

Yup. Of course, it's a $2500/day fine from the EPA for a private citizen and falls squarely under "engine tampering." It's not a local ticket issue so much as having the fed.s tell you to stop.
Technically, if it isn't certified, it isn't legal.
That said, I've never really been a big fan of silly laws.
