wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Just go ask. The art of face to face conversation is dwindling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted August 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Ya, I hear ya. I probably will when I see them out. Just thought someone might have seen what happened. I dig these cars. Really hated to see it wrecked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 That doesnt look like a normal wreck... It looks kind of like somebody took a chainsaw to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AutoFreak57 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 well it looks like someone didn't realize they have to steer out of the turn to get traction when understeering...... just a guess though. looks like mainly body work though. If the suspension is damaged, it's a good time to upgrade, because they can actually be upgraded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinkinhood Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 That's actually an extiege. How the roof is done and the hood(as well as the color) make it out. I'm guessing he clipped something up front and with how the body is made it tore enough of that section of the pannel that it all just came off. Gunna be expensive as heck to replace, as you can't really spot repair it, any damaged section of the body has to be completely replaced. Shame, it's a damned sexy car.

SpaceGhost Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Looks like typical meteor damage to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 That is not an Exige, they have fixed roof's and a solid panel over the rear of the car, that car clearly has a rear glass window. Shame to see a nice car like that being messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supplicium Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I was at Byers on Monday and a truck dropped off a totaled 997 turbo. very sad, it was covered in mud and all 4 corners were smashed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinkinhood Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 My bad on that. I thought I remembered the Exige being an open top. Still a shame to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 My bad on that. I thought I remembered the Exige being an open top. Still a shame to see. Its real easy to mix them up. That one is a Lotus Elise. The Exige has a roof scoop and a spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I thought it might have been my buddy's dads, but... he does not have dealer tags on his. And I dont think it is orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
