Just can not do this anymore

Well ... after 6 months of ownership, I decided I just could not live with the limited power. I had a choice to either build the engine or buy something new. I bought something new. I dropped my series 10 auto with nag off at carmax fort myers ... and got $22k for it.

I still have the original series 10 car floor mats and Daytime Driving Lights modifier (keeps the led's on) ... will sell.

It is a Lotus Evora IPS loaded ... every option. I know it is a big change, but I am trying to keep a car for more than a year.

My criteria was

automatic
4-seats
daily driver with the ability to use at car shows
homelink
fast

I test drove the GTR, but I just could not get past the ugly

about 4500 miles ... I agree, 22k for the car was a strong offer
