New US Legal '08 Evora

I bought a new US legal '08 Lotus Evora yesterday.

It's metallic silver (the only color available at this time, although I'm sure it will be offered in other colors later.

It has a black interior.

The wheels are 10 dual spoke (like the LSS wheels, but with 10 spokes).

There are no other options.

I've been waiting nearly a year for this one to arrive.

Here's my first photo of it:

So does it have the touring suspension?

Where did you find it? Ebay or store?

How much does the cardboard and plastic packaging add to the weight of the car??

Nice car in there!!

Could you open any of the 3doors, or front hood, etc..?

Are the twin 10spokes only wheels available when you purchased her??

Local Wal-Mart store.

I've been watching for the "08 Lotus" for nearly at year. I bought several of the yellow Elises that they had, and the back of the package has always lister "08 Lotus" but no one had ever seen it. Now I know why - they had to wait for the Evora to be released.

I don't think I can fit in that back seat.
