Angry Scratched Elise!!!

So get this. My brother took his Lotus to the Lotus dealer in atlanta to get it serviced. While it was at the dealer they parked it under the overhang infront of the building which just got a new tile floor. Apparently they had like 50-60 mph winds one night and it blew up the tiles (which were not palced properly) and scratched the door and the hood of his brand new Elise. A little over 1,000 miles! To top this off. My father goes to the dealer and they say "because it is of natural causes OUR insurance has to cover it." HAH. yeah right. Not to mention my brother still has a spot in line to get a lotus shipped here from europ. (he got his early, long story). So needless to say we talked to a few lawyers and my brother posted the story on a few lotus bords. Lotus hears about it and two days later the dealer calls us saying the will fix it with no charge and no deminished value or they will pay the difference or something. I don't know the whole story about that. But. We will soon be having two. TWO laser blue lotuses here in Athens. One to be on sale eventually if i am not mistaken. I'm not sure which one they are selling but be looking for a Laser BLue lotus for sale later this year.

I will post pictures if i ever get them...

We need to go out to the Baytown track, and I'll make you feel inadequate in the auto department too. :p

Dragstrip. I'm not that stupid. It would be a good race, even there.
