Chances are there was some nasty malware already lurking around on the system.

Thread has pretty much peaked on Fark with 200 responses, so the intial Fark rush and resulting lag here is pretty much done with now, back to normal already. Though on the bright side I think we picked up 3-4 genuinely interested people on the site because of this who probably never knew it existed. And maybe taught 40,000 or so people a little bit about the Elise And for the most part a good number of Farkers seemed pro Elise, though the other part seemed to be player haters in a major way. I think the average demo on a Farker is white middle aged male living in the midwest in the computer IT biz, if I remember right from a poll a while back

That SUCKS. I'm always wary of lifting cars for that reason.

I know this sounds a bit morbid, but I hope they total your car. The repairs on something like this, since it looks like nearly everything is tweaked, are going to roar into the thousands quickly, and the car may never drive the same again.

Pretty ****ty day for the mechanic, I'd say! I wonder what was going thru his mind as he watched your car slide off the lift. Bad day indeed.

Good to see your keeping amused qball. I'm sure you'll have another one in no time flat. Question is, whether it will be supercharged or not
