Freeway, you are probably going to cringe when I say this, but ultimately, I am looking at a work truck. I know that sounds odd to be calling a lowered truck a work truck, but this is my thinking:
-lowering the truck will make getting stuff out of the truck easier
-by having the truck on bags, this will ensure the truck remains at a constant height at all times, regardless of the load
-by having the bags, unloading will be made even easier as I will be able to cause the truck to kneel, giving me an additional few inches of drop, making it just that much easier to load the bed.
What can I say, I like thinking outside the box. Granted, I am also considering playing with the air setup to have a "comfort" setting and a "handling" setting. Essentially I would have a small air reservoir associated with each bag. In the comfort setting, the reservoir would be in the system, giving the bags some room to push the air out of the bags, allowing them to squish more, giving a softer ride. But, I want to play and toss the truck around, the reservoir would be isolated from the bags via a solenoid valve, making the air bags less compressible, therefore handling the cornering better.
Like I said, I have some ideas for the truck. As for the Elise, what is holding me back on that is the fact that while the car is fun to drive, it is fun to drive for short drives. It isn't meant to be something to cruise in for long, long drives (like I make periodically). So, it could be related to riding a sporty motorcycle for a long drive. we'll see.
