Well last week I had an accident in my Lotus Elise... it was completely my fault and thankfully there were no other cars around and I didnt have a passenger.
I dont want to get into details but speed/alchohol wasnt a factor, it was late at night and I ended up going off the road, into the ditch and through a fence :facepalm
The car is totaled in my opinion... I am awaiting my insurance company to confirm it though.
I owned the Elise for 2.5 years and bought it off of a LT forum member that lived near me. I loved the car, I ended up driving it so much I got rid of my other vehicles and drove it almost every single day but I kept a flagship big body luxury sedan for the times when I needed to stretch out.
I put 40k miles on the Elise in the 2.5 years I owned it and enjoyed every mile, it was a fantastic and fun car. I had just mounted a brand new set of Yokohama A048 tires and EBC dimpled/slotted rotors and YellowStuff brake pads along with maintenance such as oil and air filter...
Now that my favorite car is gone I am looking at replacing it, I might buy it back but I really doubt it.
I went up to Park Place and checked out some Evora's because they are the only car that attracts me. I have read so much stuff on here about little issues and major issues like the clutch that it kind of scares me away, I can't pay $60k for a car that will need $10k in repairs the following year. Any local Evora owners want to chime in and share their experience with their Evora?
Here are some pics of my poor Lotus Elise....
