You have been incredibly patient with this whole experience, I hope the dealer and Lotus appreciates it.

ps- it may be cheaper if you stay away from nails. j/k
Just to clarify...

The computer checks for problems for 100 miles. The service offered to test-drive, but I had to pick up the car so I declined the test-drive. It is not the dealership's fault.

Although I am frustrated with the ongoing issue, the dealership has been very wonderful to work with.

As for test driving, fuse, sometimes the CEL doesn't present itself on the first drive or two. And yes, Patrick, you are the new nail magnet king.
It was nice seeing you yesterday!

Yeah, I can't believe I got another nail (two this time) in the tires!
