Thats mine your talking about.
Unfortunately that is my ST you see sitting at Chriswell. Here’s the story how it ended up there. My parents asked if they could borrow the car for the day. I didn’t have a problem with this, my dad is a huge car nut and treats all his cars with respect and appreciates performance. I got a call later that day that went something like this.
my dad "Hey Jake"
me "Hey? What’s up?"
my dad "Its the Lotus, I wrecked it"
me .....
me .... "your joking right?"
my dad "I wish I was.. I slid it off the road"
me... "Are you okay?"
my dad "Everyone is fine"
me "Is the car totaled, or is it drivable"
my dad "Its drivable, but its has some pretty significant damage.
me "Bring it back and let me look at it."
An hour or so later they arrived with the car, and it was dark out by time they pulled into my driveway. My mom was in tears and my dad almost was too. She was furious with my dad for being so irresponsible but I wasn’t too upset, I was glad they were okay, and I was expecting much worse that what I was seeing. Don’t get me wrong I was still upset, but I wasn’t angry with them. The car has been out of commission for the past couple of weeks, and I don’t expect to get it back for at least three more. I waited a year for the car, drove it for 3 weeks, and now I’m waiting again. The hold up is going to be getting the parts for it. I would rather them replace the front clam then try to fix it, and it will need 4 new wheels, and whatever else the shop discovers. I'm just hoping there is no frame damage. Surprisingly the undercarriage didn’t seem to show any scratches or damage.
