How’d she like the sale price? 

Nice of Wolverine Catchpole to get a shave and haircut for the video. LOL

Not a fan of the rear end, but the rest I like a lot. 

The Cayman I drove had a fairly heavy clutch, but nothing compared with an Elise! 

Not a Lotus... but if this means more “real” Lotuses for the rest of us, I’m all for it!

Well... 

That’s because your cars’ clutches are relatively light. =)

So, what’s the cost of an IMS repair, and what’s the current value of this car? 

There’s something to be said about intimately knowing the performance of the vehicle you’re taking a long interstate road trip in. You never know when you’ll need to come to a panic stop, swerve to miss something in the road, or accelerate hard to get out of a bad spot. 

Have she seen this yet? Ha!

Lookin’ good!

Very good point! Per 500 miles, at $3 a gallon, the difference between 20 mpg and 30 mpg is $25. 

That suuucks... Did they replace all of the trunk lining, too? 

Gotcha.

Yeah, and they may actually test in such a way that simulates heavy rain at highway speeds. 

Do you regularly rent a car for road trips? 

it’s noteworthy that at least one of the specific claims—about the Model 3 not being subjected to robust water testing—aligns with a very specific report of a Model 3 bumper falling off in the rain less than half an hour after driving off the lot, something that absolutely should not happen to any car at any price…
