Job Opening!!

that guy seems well not quite as pissed as I would be...

he's rich!!!! has a 911 carrera

The elise doesnt even cost that much. Pricing compares to a corvette if not less. Either way Id be pissed too if that happend to my car.

Woah, you must be rich if you can say an Elise doesn't cost that much I guess an STI is just a cheap disposable car along with the S2000

Well its more than what I can afford but I mean its not as expensive as Ferraris and other exotics. Still exotic though. $50k comapred to like $100k+ for other exotics is a big difference.

damnage dont look all that bad, i'd buy it back from the insurance company and make it a full on track car with some help from forced fed..

Look at the dude on the far right....he's like "oh sh*t, we're done interning for today.."

i want one. i'd take that damaged one and fix it for all its worth. thats whats gonna happen anyway. Someones gonna make money off it

Shit, if he doesn't want it, I'll take it. A busted ass Elise is better than no Elise at all. We actually need more of these events to happen so we can scavenge that engine.

Looks like somebody forgot the engine (ie weight) wasn't up front..haha..that sucks!

Just take them from Celicas..easier to find..

Bah! Celica 2zz's haven't been massaged by the mighty hand of Lotus.

I'd had a tantrum and went bannanas and crazy on the phone to my lawyer

Elise aren't that expensive...if a base price is $50k, that's only $16k more than my truck.

Even with a witness, a picture like that says a 1,000 words. Goodyear's @ss is his.

Yea your right Elise are like the cheap Lotus of it's time. This picture is rather funny I've seen the same color Elise at tail of Dragon (deal's gap) and the owner I talked with mentioned these car's handle very very well on the curves.... This car is Not totalled the damages do not exceed the Total value of the car and very likely minimal damages at all...

too bad it IS totalled. the frame is bent and has been stressed to the max. I'd like to see someone buy a 50000 dollar car and ride around on a faulty frame.

elise the cheap lotus of its time? lol

also, buying a sports car is one thing that makes it expensive.. but the maintenance is another. i would not say this car is cheap!

Where did I say that you had to be rich to own one? Can you please quote me on your next reply so I can see where i said "You have to be rich to own one"? I don't recall ever saying that. I do recall saying that anyone that says an Elise doesn't cost that much must be rich because there is a big difference between being able to own one and calling it inexpensive, I'm sure you can agree with that.

Again... Don't have to be rich to own one... Just have to be rich to have it paid off or be able to call them an "Inexpensive Car"

Let me give you an example
Guy that makes $30k a year says a $50k car is expensive
Guy that makes $150k a year says a $50k car is affordable
Guy that makes $200k a year says a $50k car is cheap as dirt
Guy that makes $200m a year says a lamborguini diablo is dirt cheap

Now you have a scale to work off of

For many insurance cos, a "total loss" is when the repair costs equal anywhere between 1/2 and 3/4 of the car's value. Not saying $16k is 1/2 the car's value, but you get my point.

Alrite no need to fuss over something as little as the price tag. The base is actually $42k so even with all options it cant be more than $50k. If he has a 911 then an elise is nothing to him. I would even think that it is his daily driver.

i personally like the exige better than the elise, so if that happened to me with an exige, iw ould be furious.. hehe.. that still really sucks though.. hope nothing like that ever happens to me..

Eric, you need to simmer down nawh!
