So I just got my new C8 two weeks ago- and the thing Todd keeps saying at the beginning “I can’t believe it’s mine” is exactly how I feel and can’t stop staying to myself. I’ve wanted one for 30 years- and being in a position to actually buy one now - everytime I walk out to the garage and see it sitting there I just stop and say “I can’t believe that thing is sitting there”

I was excited to see this video because I have been patiently waiting for my Emira, as have many others. It's been one delay after another since putting a deposit down in January, 2023. However, just yesterday I found out it's finally on a transporter from Baltimore, and should be at Boardwalk Lotus in 3-4 days! I paid special attention when Todd and Paul were at Boardwalk to see if I recognized any of the staff. Alas, I did and it was very bittersweet to see Tom Sutton showing Paul the Emira GT4. Tom passed away a month ago. I will remember our talks. He was a true car guy and will be missed by many.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for such an amazing and inspiring video! I’m 55 and just finished putting two kids through college debt free. I had unexpected open heart surgery in January of this year due to a congenital valve defect. I had been working toward a Porsche all my life and, following my heart surgery, my wife pushed me to pull the trigger on my dream 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 (manual). I told her I was going to drive the hell out of this car (taking great care for it, just not a garage queen), and this video totally reinforces that. I live in So Cal and do the 395 and Bay Area trips regularly. Thank you for the intel on some great future road trips. You guys rock! 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️👊🏼

As a car enthusiast I really enjoy your reviews and comparisons but particularly enjoy your road trips (allows me to live vicariously when I can’t get away myself 😊). As a proud Japanese AMERICAN, whose family served with distinction and is also currently serving in the U.S. military, and whose immediate family was interned during WWII and lost everything (and yet, still served as proud Americans), I was very moved by your reverence during your visit to Manzanar. That being said (and given that one of the cars you toured in was a Corvette), I was somewhat surprised to see that you did not mention that two of the most iconic American muscle cars, like other quintessentially American things (like the original World Trade Center) were developed or designed by Japanese Americans. Growing up in Southern California, Larry Shinoda was interned at Manzanar. Despite this, he also later served in the Air National Guard. But more relevantly to car enthusiasts, from Wikipedia: starting at GM, “Shinoda primarily designed concept cars, including the Mako Shark show car and CERV I. Working with Mitchell and Corvette chief engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov, he refined the XP 819 and other concept cars that eventually translated into the original 1963 Corvette Sting Ray design. Shinoda also led design work on the revised 1968 version that borrowed heavily from his Mako Shark concept.” Later, “In 1968 Henry Ford II hired former GM executive Bunkie Knudsen to be president of Ford. Knudsen recruited Shinoda to come to Ford in hopes of improving the styling and sales of Ford's lineup. Shinoda's first project at Ford was the Boss 302 Mustang high-performance homologation special. Shinoda is credited with taking the original design, then designated SR-2, and removing much of the chrome ornamentation. Reportedly Shinoda chose the name "Boss" as a homage to Knudsen. He led the design that was used for the succeeding Mustang models for 1970-1973 as well.” To me, both “iconic” and “ironic”, and so quintessentially American. 😊

Love these road trip videos! I get to live vicariously through them a bit while being a full time caregiver for my dad and not being able to get away for more than an hour at a time or so, road trips and track days are off the menu for awhile, but I'll have to add highway 108 to the list since its not far! Anyway, fun story about Boardwalk. Bought a Chevy SS from them in 2016 from their GM dealership wing, but it was on Stopsale from June to November due to a seatbelt recall. By the time it was up, Chevy kept their 20% off incentives going for like 6 months and Boardwalk had like 10 manual transmission Chevy SS's on the lot. They called everyone on the waiting list at the same time and sold all of them in one day! I took a rental car down there on a one way rental to be able to get it lol

For people who are serious about getting into a Lotus, don’t waste your time listening to goofballs in the comments section. All you’re going to find there are NPC’s quoting the same Top Gear jokes you’ve already heard 10k times. Go to the Lotus forums and talk to other Lotus owners. Go to the track and talk to owners. Talk to OWNERS. And if you’re not super into driving, or you’re not super into cars, realistically just get a mainstream brand from Germany, Japan or the US. Lotus has never been for everyone. So if you think you might be everyone, it’s probably not the right brand for you honestly.

The trust issue is so true! My Emira didn't start one morning - luckily in my driveway. Boardwalk (my dealer) found my temp sensor was slow to communicate. Ordered a new one ... but the problem hasn't recurred ... so I haven't brought it back in to replace it yet. 2,200 miles now. .*shrug* After awhile - my trust sting faded and I feel fine now. Agree also - my Elise (i've put 86,000 miles on it) has been flawless, likely cause it's just so old and doesn't have smart sensors. Fun to see you all go on a road trip into the Sierra (my area).

What an emotional roller coaster for the Lotus. I'm glad it was able to make the trip!

Love driving my Emira on open roads! I have the touring suspension as well- it was definitely the right pick for me (after much hand-wringing). Looking forward to my first long road trip, if only I could find hotels along the way where it wouldn’t get messed with.

I ride my motorcycle over the 4 passes almost every year. Tioga Pass, Sonora pass, Ebbetts pass, and Monitor pass. Nice to see you guys in my backyard.

I loved this piece! I watched it with my family on the big screen on Sunday when it released and they liked it too (it was their first introduction to the ED road trip series)! Please keep making these with both the car culture and the random places and historical backgrounds of those places!

Great film. Despite driving some of the best tracks in Europe, Sonoma is still one of my favorites.

Awesome road trip guys I am inspired to take another one thanks to you. Software upgrade or not Todd, It will be a while before you trust the Emira again. Glad it all went well after that. Can't wait for your next adventure!

That climb when going north a Hwy 395 from Bishop to Tom's Place was a long/slow drive in our motorhome towing a trailer. 🤣

I've driven to Murphys from the North bay and that stretch from Copperopolis to Angels Camp on hwy 4 is fantastic. But now I NEED to do the Sonora pass on 108, that looks amazing!

Stopped at Manzanar a number of times. I actually worked with a guy the early 1980's that was interred there as a youngster.

The fact that the brakes in both cars held up well at Sonoma is a huge testament to those cars, as Sonoma is really hard on brakes. I tried tracking a Focus ST there with the same powerstop brake kit as Todd and RBF 660 brake fluid back in February, and it burned through the brakes in 1.5 sessions due to poor airflow.
