    Sorry, but the buyer wants it.

    If the car buyer doesn't want it, then yes. Back with more info when I have it.

    Yes, I'm registered but I don't see how to actually get my own code. Still trying....

    Is it better to use my own code (in which case I'll need to get one) or my friend's code?

    Damaged 2008 1.5 for quick sale, runs and drives fine.

    Thinking of going with a model 3 because it will fit our family better for next little while. My 16 year old daughter is still learning to drive and our Toyota Sienna is kind of big and she's not allowed to drive the roadster. Then, after a couple of years, I'm going to want to add back a...

    SOLD! Carl Medlock is buying it, so she's going to a good home.

    I'm putting up my 2008 1.5 (#311) for sale as is. If it sells within the next week, then great. If not, then I'll go ahead and get it fixed. I just don't want to wait for the repair to get done as this is my daily driver. The car still runs and drives fine. There are no error messages...

    ouch, roadster accident, video evidence

    I took my car into the body shop yesterday to get an estimate. Had to strap down my hood because both my hood hinges are severed, but the car drove reasonably well and stayed cool. They are compiling the estimate, so I don't have it yet. Anyway, they told me a roadster came into their shop in...

    Aww, that's a shame you got hit that way. Noted about the unavailable parts and you're right that we'll need many of the same parts. Questions, if you don't mind: were they able to quote the repair even if they couldn't do it? If so, roughly how expensive? Is the other insurance company...

    Thanks to all for your concern and suggestions. Will start by seeing what our insurance company wants to do and go from there. Thanks and noted Javier. Glad also to have the extra analysis of the accident. For example, we hadn't noticed the pedestrians that the SUV should have stopped for...

    ouch, roadster accident, video evidence

    Forgot to say my wife is fine. It was the first thing I asked when she called after the accident. After finding out she was fine, I headed to the accident site but I still didn't know if it was in the Roadster or our minivan. Admittedly, on the way, I was saying to myself "be the van, be the...

    ouch, roadster accident, video evidence

    My wife was driving our 2008 1.5 today in Laguna Beach when an SUV pulled out in front of her. She hit the brakes, but you'll see the impact. An office across the street got it on their security video and attached here are pictures from that video. Hoping this is enough that our insurance...
