Will NOT buff out... - LotusTalk

yak52pilot · 11-19-2008, 02:09 PM

Last Tuesday early morning asked my brother to move the car round the corner (50ft) and left to ride my bike. Got home afternoon and in lil while my brother shows up with a tow truck. So i go outside to take a look. u know the rest of the story... he hit a bump on BQE driving in left lane, bounced into the divider, semi, divider again, and tractor-trailer again. Walked away with no scratch. Here is most important - SCCVC11137HL80827 STAY AWAY!
Geico handled it professionally. Total loss. I am waiting for my check now.

Tracktimeplz · 11-19-2008, 02:14 PM

Well....you had talked about possibly getting rid of it.....in this market, id say you owe your brother big time for risking his life to sell your car

Is he available next saturday?

Bavarian Motorist · 11-19-2008, 02:16 PM

Wow. Glad he's OK. I'm also glad you got to sell all your expensive CF parts from the car.

CosmosMpower · 11-19-2008, 02:24 PM

Weren't you trying to sell this not too long ago? Good thing everyone is ok, hope you find a good replacement.

I'm sorry to hear about your car, and am glad your brother is safe. But... what sort of jet is this that you're getting?

kestrel74 · 11-19-2008, 02:27 PM

UGH. that sucks..... looks like it'll take a bunch of buffing !

Noen · 11-19-2008, 02:28 PM

Any chance of snagging the driver seat out of it? Hate to see another Exige off the road

Midknight xrs · 11-19-2008, 02:39 PM

ouch, i guess driving 50 feet down the road could be dangerous.

Glad he's ok, bet you wanted to kick him in the shins.

Surferjer · 11-19-2008, 02:40 PM

That made me want to cry. Glad everyone is okay.

Patricko · 11-19-2008, 02:41 PM

I would think the drivers seat may be stained

Nugget9k · 11-19-2008, 02:46 PM

I wouldn't answer that ! Nugget, do you work for an insurance company ??

habendanio · 11-19-2008, 02:52 PM

Glad nodody got hurt. One thing about these cars is that the driver seems well protected. Too bad, really liked the color scheme. Here's another vin# to stay away from, SCCPC111X5HL32439 .

Shawn C · 11-19-2008, 02:59 PM

Sorry to hear, He did you a favor by writing it off though

Chris Mackey · 11-19-2008, 03:02 PM

That sucks. How long are you going to let your brother live?

dasmoofler · 11-19-2008, 03:03 PM

Wow, just wow. Hope this works out in the end for you.

Was considering as i needed a new DD, but then realized will miss ExigeS too bad. Also tried to trade in for 09 JCW, and was offered

$23k

But then got the ducati - and monster just killed the lotus in fun department. They are just as practical actually.

sumolance · 11-19-2008, 03:11 PM
