Where is the one with the elise on a lift? Same thing except it was wedged against a garage door.

I remember that pic. That car is totaled. As awesome as the Elise is, their chassis is crap. It doesn't take much to total the car, even if cosmetically it looks ok.

Yep, that clam shell is expensive to replace. I remember researching for one when I was in the market. Have owners reporting a headlight would pop out sometimes. Quality was not their initiative when building these cars.

That's definitely car you should just lease and not own long-term (unless it's a garage-queen)

Yeah, I don't think I'll ever touch a Lotus Elise or a Mazda RX-7...

I still want to try a Ferrari though even though I know better...
