Picking out my options...
I'm getting Saffron Yellow w/ Hard Top and.......
and......
hmm....
I'm thinking... what "personality" do I want my Elise to have?
Touring is... like... nice and pretty... but I'm worried about Lotus' electrical systems. I think power windows MIGHT be nice (girls certainly won't be impressed by the rollers) but this is a big HMMMM... also, touring is a bit "cushy" for a Lotus. I'm not buying a Lotus to get a spongemobile.
LSS would be awesome, too! Better performance AND cool looking wheels.
But I'm wondering HOW MUCH harder the ride will be? I don't think LSS will make a difference like between a cushy, every-day Elise and a go kart Elise. So right now, I'm like "why not?" I'm not going to race competitively... but LSS is like "I'm a LOTUS, damnit!"
So there's my dilemma. I don't want LSS AND Touring. I think they are DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED OPTIONS. Getting both would be a waste of $4k - you lose the essence of each by having both.
ACK!!!
I was dead-set on getting LSS, but a few people have been making me think Touring might suit my needs better. But I'm afraid of being that "Touring Pack Guy" - you know, the middle-aged one-step-from-a-corvette guy. If I were getting a BRG, I could justify the Touring Pack for the biscuit leather color combo (yummy), but I'm not. I'm getting SY! Black cloth would look hot in this baby!

What do I do !!!!!????
