Nice lookin' wheels.

They are for my lotus.

I already saved weight on the twin with my new pulleys.

Doesn't taking the lotus out of the pond to put wheels on kill it?


So confused.


In other news, I recently learned you can get the Evora in a 2+2 configuration... that might actually fit the bill of being reasonably useful for long road-trips. Whether it's comfortable enough is a different question. Maybe I should have sold off the twin stuff and replaced the crunchy one with a Lotus after all...

I looked at them at the dealer when I bought mine. Big lotus, with paddles. Sad.

Well, ya, since Zillow only adjusts their algorithm for the San Jose area every 15 seconds ……. if you check the prices late in the 15 second cycle …….. they will be $300-400,000 low...….

well, almost.

In Seattle, LA, SF and silicon valley ……. houses for sale might as well be on an auction. ……

Here ya go mr buyer, here is a fine piece of property, yep, Silicon Valley. This stick built rambler, sits on it's own 50 sq ft lot. Yep, it was built in 1926 and has termites, fleas, and the roof leaks ……. but other than that, it's a cream puff. Oh yes, you have to bring in your own, septic, power and water.


I'm sure your Fido will be quite comfortable ………. oh, wait, my cell phone, the seller just turned down his fourth over full price, cash offer, close in 10 days. He is catching on to this HOT market, and is holding out for $950,000 ….. cash, no inspections, no neighborhood review, no CC&R review, close in 10 days ……. cash in USD deposited to his Swiss Bank account.

Sorry, you waited too long ……. your banker just called and said that now you don't qualify.

Next time I show you houses …….. bring cash (at least 2x the asking price).

Gotto go, I got tons of money to make here before this bubble implodes

Isn't the Evora entirely a 2+2 configuration? They were trying to challenge the 911/Carrera market.

I think you are correct, and all auto.

And sadly the only car Lotus can sell new in the US.

410 looks to be 2+0 and available with a manual transmission.


I don't mind a good auto...

[cjd]

Crap. It comes in Toxic Green. Probably snuggles right up to a 6 figure price tag. Need to save my pennies or something.

[Sapphireho]

How come I'm getting adds for the pelvic clock?

And what the hell is...

Nevermind, I don't want to know.
