OFF TOPIC: My friend just totalled his Lotus
Damn, my friend just wrecked his Lotus Elise somewhere north of Sacramento. And I had to tell someone! Should have been driving a MUSTANG!!!
But that really sucks.
Supposedly he is okay at least.
The guy is getting married in 2 weeks. Sure this won't stress him out at all! ugh.

Did he get trapped in a situation, or was it "Driver error"? Hope there were no serous injuries.
Now he can take that Elise money & put it into a Stang.

RE: OFF TOPIC: My friend just totalled his Lotus
This guy was planning on making the Elise (2006!) into his racer. I am not yet clear if he was on a track or not. I want to say that he was but sometimes he drives on the surface streets like he is on a track...
I wonder what he will get next.
In the 4 years I have known him he has had
1) 2002 Boxter S with about $20k in upgrades
2) 2005 M3 with about $20k in upgrades(!!!)
3) 2006 Lotus Elise (all gone)
4) Not one Mustang (wtf?)
I think he is okay. His girlfriend is on her way to pick him up as he is stranded this morning. Thanks for letting me post off topic here. Its just that I am a Classic Mustang guy so I have to talk to Classic Mustang peeps about these things!

Glad to hear he's ok, but yea you should definitely get him into a mustang, and luckily he had the elise and not the exige, I would be sad if he had totaled an exige.

RE: OFF TOPIC: My friend just totalled his Lotus
You know what Brian,
I just realized it IS an Exige!!! I have only seen it a couple times and I dont know my Lotuses at all... I was just looking at his pics online and it is an Exige. Sorry for the disappointment...
i can post pics if you want... is there any way to upload pics from your desktop to these forum postings?
