Thanks for the sensitivity. I think the panorama shot is appropriate, for anything more detailed it'd be best if you or anyone else didn't link directly to it (the one at enquirer.com showing the rear of the car is appropriate too, and probably of interest to any Elise/Exige owner. shows the passenger cabin appears to have held up well though hard to say for sure from that picture.).

I also think it's pretty classless of the Enquirer to have a 'Buy this photo' link on the accident picture.

Flash G · 02-16-2008, 05:20 PM

Jesus! That's horrible. Condolences to the family. Looks like an `05 Ardent red.
