Long ago, I reasoned that an extra $2500 premium for a short list would be worthwhile given the estimated delivery date of "July '04".
For the extra cost, I could drive the Elise a whole SoCal summer! What a deal.
July, Chris takes the keys, flashbulbs popping.. surely mine will come soon?
August, more appear, but still silence from Lotus, except for the price hike, of course.
September... I have my choice of "no info" or "maybe soon", neither of which corners very well.
October. Even in San Diego, the mountain leaves turn fall colors. I envy my Miata club friends, but riding shotgun is poor substitute.
November. Elections pass in steady rain, sand on the roads, crisp morning air, and continued vacancy in the garage.
This has been my "Elise Experience".
