A probably drunk driver hit my parked Elise last night in Long Beach, totaling it. What a shame... I'm upset to write the least, since all the work I've put into the car is gone, and it's doubtful insurance will give me enough money to afford a down payment on another Elise after paying off the current loan. Hope for the best

Sadly,
Keith

sorry to hear about the loss, no pics?

i'm sure you will be able to work something out to get another Elise.

Did the sob stop or keep going?

Sorry to hear that Keith.

Totaled it? What did he/she do?

 

[khoerling]

Front+rear clam damage, possible frame damage, too... what do you guys think? Is it most likely totaled?

The guy got out of his car and ran from the scene, leaving his car. Police never found him.

Left his car? Shouldn't be too hard to find him if you have his car.

That totally sucks dude. So sad. I would have cried for sure.

I'd vote for likely totaled. The rocker panels are expensive too

Ouch, sorry to hear.

Oh dude.. that really sucks. I live in LB... where did it happen?

I often see sideswiped/totalled parked cars on Ocean between downtown and Belmont Shore, on Sundays and Mondays. Most likely drunk drivers leaving Pine St.
