Hi All,
I have found this forum incredibly helpful, it has helped me find my future car. I will be driving it over 1000 miles up north. Deposit down, flight booked, PPI arranged. Read the full hosted owner's manual. The seller has been very helpful and honest.
I'm planning on taking HWY 1 following the coast line up north, with a few detours to meet with friends-I'm going to hit up La Honda road etc. I don't really have much time, but I plan on avoiding I5 for most of the trip, sticking to the coast. I seriously haven't been this excited in years.
I found this thread to be insightful.
The car will be fairly loaded down as I'm going to have all the goodies that come with the car and a passenger. I believe the first 'mod' getting home will be to remove the Hardtop for the summer! I hope I won't regret getting the LSS-I have read quite a bit of mixed feedback on this.
Most of what I read is just that you need to have common sense, and drive it similar to a motorcycle.
I've also heard mixed feedback of how comfortable the car is for long trips. The longest I've driven in one day was 14 hours, which was rough.
My driving experience for a fun car the past 3 years has been an AP1 S2000.
So, I was curious-what tips would you give a complete lotus noob about to embark on a coastal whirlwind? Anything that you wish you would have known?
Thanks!
