The primacy tires are trash. Ever since I changed wheels with stickier tires, the grip has been surreal. I know there may be more to the story (i.e speed) but one of the big misconceptions with the twins is it makes you feel like you can take a turn at 50mph with full confidence, on stock tires. My rant is obviously from personal experience. And just like every review I read prior to buying this car, the tires and possibly wider rear wheels is all this car really needs out of the factory.

It looks like it may be repairable, but I can't imagine the dealership selling, even repaired... IDK, maybe they'll wholesale it and it will end up on the streets... Supposedly they were filming a TV commercial with it at the time..

Don't know the full story yet. Apparently it flipped over a 6 foot barbed wire fence!!! The jaws of life were required to remove the occupants but they survived.

We've seen the "I lived" commercials, but this really is the case with the engineering behind these cars in this company.
No faith bro....pop the hood....

Glad both are still living, not an easy thing to walk away from.

how much were they asking for it? I'm sure a few things out of it are salvageable, like...the floor mats...and...maybe...the spare tools?
