Nice looking from what I can see. I would have liked a shot of the nose.

They should have smacked the person that left a hand print on the pass side of the dash.

Dan, did you ever get your car back and if you did let's see some pics.

Yeah but if you kept it for 10 years you would save about $26000 if you normally spent $50 per week on gas.

Does anyone ever photograph this thing in the light! All the pics I have seen are so dark it is hard to get an idea of what this thing looks like.

I love the Elise, so of course I love this car, too. Specs are decent enough, but the pricetag makes me cringe a bit.



I pick up my car tomorrow (drive or tow, either way, it's coming home) around 4:00. I will know the current condition of the car then, but when I saw it last Friday the exhaust was still not on (as well as the exhaust tip still not being repaired from their dent), none of the carbon fiber pieces had been repaired, the clear coat was massively bubbled in the trunk/ engine bay/ door jambs, a ton of silver showed in the engine bay, some silver showed along the windshield frame, the wiper jets and trunk lock were still silver, and that's all off the top of my head.

I have another consultation with my lawyer this evening, so I hope you guys don't mind if I don't say much else until it's all over. Unless the judement includes a gag order, I'll spill the beans about everything that has happened since day one... I'll let you all decide for yourselves if the shop is right for you, but I have a feeling you'll be shocked! I wrote an 8-page document listing the sequence of events, what was said/promised, pictures every step of the way, faxes to the shop, etc.

Needless to say, I am not a happy camper, particularly since it is more than likely going to cost me twice as much to repair what is wrong.
