Bidding farewell to the 05 AR Elise

Hi my 05 AR Elise was run off the road in August. The insurance company totaled it.I wanted to post the VIN because it seems that carfax is useless or unrealiable (a la QBall's fu@K, Sh!+, CR^P! DAMAGE!!!!).SCCPC11165HL35015.

Time for something new

how about some pictures or description of the damage... in case it does resurface again after an attempt to repair it.

The car was damaged on the driver side rear. The frame is bent. The rear clam is wrecked. The suspension on the driver side is trashed. I hope this car doesn't resurface.

the ebay ad will say something like this:

"There was a minor crack in the rear clam that I had repaired easily. No idea why anyone would have totalled this unique rare vehicle for something so minor"
