Can you think of a rhyme or saying which uses the Letters in order, of most major car manufacturers? FIAT = Fix It Again Tam, FORD = Fox Or Repair Daily, LOTUS = Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious and NISSAN = Nothing Is So $hit As Nissan. I bet there are a few more out there.
Cheers
We have FIAT,FORD,LOTUS and NISSAN.?
SAAB- Some Ancient Ageing Biddies
SKODA- So Keep On Driving Abominably
SEAT- Seats Elderly and T#@ts
VOLVO- Vast Object Likes Very Old people
Reply:BMW = Bloody Minded W***kers
Reply:Sure. Pontiac. Poor old neighbor thinks it's a caddy.
And I thought Fiat was "Fix it again, Tony"

Seems like almost every make of car has a section on Yahoo answers, but there is no LOTUS section! What gives?

Did anyone hear of lotus cars using honda engines in the future????????????
i know they currently use the toyota 2zz-ge in their lineup.
that would be interesting....
any proof of the honda engine in lotus cars tho?
Did anyone hear of lotus cars using honda engines in the future????????????
no not me, I didn't hear that
Reply:First I've heard of it. But considering that Toyota isn't doing much with small performance cars these days, it wouldn't surprise me if the current engine design is stagnating, and Honda (or Mazda) would be the obvious replacement.
There were some grey-market imported Elises...track-only, IIRC...which were brought into the US prior to official importation which were sold with Honda engines. Or at least, they were advertised for sale. I'm not 100 percent sure any were actually brought in.
A discussion of those early gray-market Elises is here:
http://elisetalk.com/forums/showthread.p...
TL:DR version: None of them were imported LEGALLY for road use. Even if they managed to get registered, no one can be 100 percent sure their car won't get confiscated and/or crushed.
Reply:Conversion kits already available. http://www.prototyperacing.com/Lotus.htm
Reply:i would love if they did so.
Reply:I wish they will, but they won't. They use the Toyota Celica engine right now.

How Realiable is a Lotus Esprit?(READ ON)?
I am considering a 1990-1993 Lotus Esprit with about 50K miles
on it,
BUT I have no idea how realible they are.
My Questions are--
What gas quality?(Can it use regular and still run fine or does it NEED premium or Supreme)
Can it be driven as a daily driver at about 40miles a day from Mon-Fri?
How much are parts on a chart(EX. 1 is the least price-10 is the most priced)?
An Estimate on how much it cost to maintain a year?
How Realible(1 being worst-10being best like a Honda OR Toyota)
Finally can they start at 6:00 AM drive 20 miles park for 7 hours and start again and drive 20 mileswith no problems.(really the question is are these cars like Maserati which choose when they feel like starting or will they start anytime in any condition)
THANK YOU!
ANSWERS ARE VERY APPRECIATED !!!

Reply:I've had a couple of friends who owned Lotuses. Based on their experiences (I had to retrieve them a few times and listen to the gripes):
Premium. Only. You'll trash it quickly on regular.
Daily driver? Yeah, but would you want to??
Parts: 3 or 4 for filters. 8 or 9 for anything else. Engine: 2nd mortgage.
If you have to ask, you probably should look elsewhere.
Reilable? 4 or 5 if you baby it. -9 if you don't. Remember, Lucas electrics!
Much more like a Maz or Lambo -- quits when it wants to. Lucas again.
When they ran right, they were a blast. When they acted up... Shudder...
Reply:You have to be kidding.
I am a lifelong Lotus enthusiast but I have to say, a Lotus is a car you endure out of irrational sentiment, not something cute to drive on your daily commute. The fact that the cars you are looking at are already 15 years old doesn't help.
They are particular (in other words; don't go cheap on the gas when your buying a limited production hi-buck exotic), cranky, irrational beasts with minds of their own. Parts are exceedingly rare and hard to find locally. It is a weekend toy, not a daily driver. Which isn't to say they can't be driven regularly, but you certainly don't want to count on one as your only car.

I currently have a Moto Q. Switched jobs and now use Lotus Notes. Used to use Outlook and could plug in Q and it would sync through ActiveSync my calendar. Now with Lotus Notes it doesnt do that. Willing to buy a BB or Treo just to get my calendar synced (with no data plan b/c i don't need net or email to phone)

My boyfriend has a Lotus and I want him to get rid of it?
Am i wrong, its a total girl magnet and hes 33 he should have a classier car. Its not a daily driver, he has an ML 350 for that but i just think the Lotus is obnoxious and if he wants to settle down he should loose it. Now, am i being too controlling or am i right?
My boyfriend has a Lotus and I want him to get rid of it?
let the man have his car.
yr not controllin or else it woulda been gone long ago but you really should just accept the fact that he has that car and if its sucha girl magnet then realize that he could be getting other girls but instead he chooses to be with you. thats all. its no big deal he'll get older and eventually get rid of it himself
Reply:He can do whatever he wants.
Reply:Are you completely insane? Do you have some kind of disorder?? Your boyfriend can own whatever kind of car he wants. It doesn't mean he's not ready to "settle down". That's like saying that a girl has to dress in shitty clothes so that guys aren't attracted to her. Jesus Christ!
Reply:that car is a pink magnet, dump it or him
Reply:So did you buy his car? I see he is your boyfriend and not your husband. It maybe a chick magnet but its his decision. It seems he has money. If you are living off your money then you would have more of a say. Until you get the ring on your finger leave him alone and let him make his own decisions.
