Looks like something to be added to wreckedexotics.com

**ReBop** · 11-08-2006, 03:19 PM

That guy is loaded with money. He didn't seem totally fumed about it.

If that happened to my SS, my poor white trash ass would be fuming !!!

**INMY01TA** · 11-08-2006, 03:41 PM

**KyleLs1** · 11-08-2006, 09:07 PM

why is there a panel on the underside of the car?

**94z28l** · 11-08-2006, 09:15 PM

aerodynamics, on the rear of the car there are diffusers on it for that reason too i believe like where the exhaust is

Dude is dumber than dirt. He is going to rely on the company to fully repair the car, and let thier adjusters and a lotus shop (that probably wants to make money so why not quote a price and half ass the job) set up his car. You fucking bet the company is going to pay for repairs if he lets them handle it once they start repairs he is fucked and can do nothing once it rides like shit, and it has little clanks he will not be able to do shit but keep dealing with them.

With a car like that i would have had a lawyer already denying repairs and asking for a new vehicle. That is not some freak accident on the road or parking lot it was the techs and companies responsibility to take care of that car and they fucked up.

I would never accept a body shop repair on a car like that. They broke it they bought it. However its his car, most of those guys on those forums think they have to buy dealer oil changes or it wont run right

i felt bad untill i read the 911 part... that is like saying "my lamborgini has a flat tire so i'm FORCED to drive my shitty ferrari..."

what a dick...

A story about a prick and a couple of dumb shits. I'd take a 911 anyday over the Lotus. The Lotus looks like a death trap to me.

Even the elitists are not off the hook.

I think they're pretty cool, power to weight ratio must be pretty good, whats so bad about them?

Flat panels on the bottom of cars act like a spoiler. As the air gets sucked under, the flat panel creates a vacuum and sucks the bottom of the car closer to the road. Then the rear defusers help smooth out the air as it leaves the rear.

Probably why they always take it to the dealer, same sort of thing with all the plastic in that new Lexus that there was a thread about.

**99blueZ** · 11-09-2006, 12:37 PM

That what he deserves for taking an exotic to goodyear. I know a friend who has worked at a goodyear for about 3 years. From the stories he has told me basically anything rarer than a vette is in for trouble as they have no clue how to work on it.
