Oh man, Shaggy, I was really sorry to see those photos this morning. I'm glad to read that you did not suffer any physical injury though. For the last week or so I've been on cloud nine almost reaching a final decision to do the deed and buy a new Elise. I've spent hours looking at webpages that folks have posted about their cars - yours among them of course. I've watched endless videos, read all I could find about the Elise, her history, development, problems, and strong points. I've talked to dealers and mechanics. I'd even begun to consider what mods I'd like to make and consider what new tools I might need for my shop. I finally reached the point at which that I felt like I could make this auto purchase the first one in my life that could be completed without even the slightest degree of buyer's remorse and I was itching to get my new Elise home and on these contorted country roads. Then this morning, I register for this forum and what do I find .... Nothing less than a sight that plundged me firmly back to earth under the coldest of showers. One look at the tag on your car and I thought - "Wait, Oh No, I knew that car!" My old psyche is crushed under the stress and shattered like the clam of your Kr-558 nm (KG) Elise.

Seriously though, glad you're okay! I need to work on my own resolve now.
