My mom wanted a new Lotus...

…so I bought her one…

She is thrilled to say the least, and has wanted one for years, especially after all the LOG events she has been to with me. After riding passenger in so many Lotus cars, and driving my Esprit on the rare occasions, she finally has her own Lotus now. We are very fortunate with our connections with Lotus USA, as well as Matt over at Lotus of WNY to make this deal work. And we got the exact car we wanted. The last brand new (#14 of 14) Lotus Evora S GP Edition. Inked the deal today, and bringing it home tonight. In our haste to get all the paperwork done on my lunch break today, I neglected to get some good photos of it, but in the meantime here are a few teasers from one sold from Gentry Lane…my photos will follow later in the week or by the w/e…

If anyone is interested in a new (or used) Lotus, Matt at Lotus of WNY is the way to go. He’s a real car guy, and is a pleasure to work with on a deal. Needless to say, this has been my biggest automotive purchase to date…he made it as easy as it could be…

Really loving this color choice! So jealous of your mom right now.

Edit: let me know when you are ready to meet up to take some photos. haha

I tell you what man, meeting you and your mother when I bought her old Nissan a while back was an enjoyable experience. I am very happy for you BOTH right now!Cheers!

wow! nicely done sir

Awesome Joe! Should have done this on mothers day though :slight_smile:

Thanks guys. Maybe we will stop at Tea Leaf with it later, depending on the time.

Josh, she can consider this an insertholidaynameuntiltheendoftime gift instead…

This makes me rethink all the things I’ve purchased for my mother over the years.

Weird,I was just admiring this same exact car at mike barney nissan today,was doing some work at the collision shop the lotus dealer is connected to. :tup:

A true gentleman.

Congratulations

:tup: this is awesome

Things like this are why people have faith in humanity, well done!

Holy crap Joe… such a nice car. I’ve been drooling over it ever since the first Euro Car day I saw it at. I’m glad she ended up with one after all! :tup:

Beautiful car! Some of those stripes get a little busy but the car has some sexy lines! Post up some specs so I don’t have to google them.

God damn that is a beautiful car… Wow

Respect, what a wonderful thing to do for your mom!

Very well done Joe. That’s a fantastic thing to do for the one person you knows that’s as nuts about the brand as you are!

i’ll never do anything this nice for my mom… not that she doesnt deserve it or anything… i’m just not that nice

What do you guys do… And why am I not doing it

This.

But it just goes to show why joe has the reputation that he does for being a standup guy.

Car is beautiful but I might could do without the gold striping.

i bought my wife a town & country… does that count a little? no? damn.

I actually think that is the opposite…
