My wife took my exige over to her friend's house while I was out of town one night and managed to crash it in the one corner between our house and her friends. She was apparently used to the slow steering hummer h3 she drives on a daily basis and ran off the inside of a turn, overcorrected, and ran off the outside of the turn, hit an embankment and flew through the air and barrel rolled through someones front yard. The car held up well considering it flew 82' before hitting the ground, rolling a couple of times, and landing upside down. If it wasnt for the race harness my wife would probably be dead since the roof came off and it landed upside down. She then left the scene because she freaked out and was afraid I was going to kill her when I got back in town from my trackday at cmp. I arrived home the next night and was immediately greeted by two police officers as they blocked my driveway. The first question they asked me was how was my wife? They didint assume that I was involved in the crash since I was walking and the high heels and pocketbook left in the car kind of clued them in also. Anyway, they were expecting to find a body when they drove up on the scene and were surprised that they did not. They said they dont even know how she got out because there was no room to crawl out. Anyway, if your wife has any desire to drive your lotus, I suggest that you teach her the correct way to drive it before this happens to you. I'm just lucky that I only lost a car and not my wife, they build new cars every day. The photo at the bottom was taken at my daughters dance recital one week after the wreck, the bandaids are covering most of the physical damage she suffered.
