So Ben. When you were thinking M3, did you get as far as a negotiated price?

The Evora is the daily driveable 2+2 version of the Elise. Same supercar performance w a little luxury mixed in.

J BONE · 10-18-2009, 09:52 AM

Pretty nice car! Never seen one of those before. Just doing my weekly check in to see what you guys are up to. Car was leaking air so after waiting 3 hours to get it looked at yesterday, it ended up being the TPMS. Took about 10 seconds to fix. What a waste of time!

ultimate · 10-18-2009, 01:02 PM

they wouldn't give you a loaner in the meantime?

kyleb350 · 10-18-2009, 01:28 PM

I'm still amazed that theyre only put a Camry engine in the Evora

kyleb350 · 10-18-2009, 01:38 PM

Carlos, I believe you have to take apart the monitor part. At the bottom there should be the LED backlight setup. Just make sure the connections are all still intact. If the light is completely out, you may need to replace the backlight.

kyleb350 · 10-18-2009, 08:09 PM

I hear crickets

UdubBadger · 10-18-2009, 08:24 PM

hahaha... sorry I'll get back to post whoring soon. The 535 was awesome... so comfortable and I felt pretty spoiled in it, might be a tough choice on the next car to get once the GF take the 328.

but the hell with that right now... BEARS are on!!!

CubanJJ09 · 10-18-2009, 08:56 PM

535 is really nice. But it's Just a pig.

Everyone get ping! App. Can save money on texting. I'm just gonna go from 1500 to 200.

CubanJJ09 · 10-18-2009, 08:59 PM

well a 535i w/ msport, nav, prem sound and htd seats is on my list now. I know its a bigger car but I kinda liked having a bigger car. Plus with an LET tune, the "pig" would still end up almost as fast as an M3.

Nebster · 10-18-2009, 09:26 PM

nope, no antivirus at all. and to be honest the only major difference is the control and command keys. but after like 3 weeks i'm completely used to it and HATE going to work and using my windows machine
