[QUOTE="PumpkinMaster, post: 13014518, member: 92971"] All, We just lost R #165 (the one that had 4 off-road driving lights up front) due to the shipper (West Coast Pilots) driving it and losing control at near 100 mph speed in an industrial park. Drive spun out, took out a stop sign, jumped two 6-8" curbs, ultimately slamming broadside into a fire hydrant which ended his escapade. He then put the car back on the transport, fled the scene, and delivered it to us (in pieces). This post is to advise the "R" community that the car with only ~4K mi on the odo was deemed a "structural" total loss, and in the great state of CA that means the car can NEVER again be registered for road use. I have heard of some salvagers that take cars out of state, or even out of the country temporarily, to "launder" the title and resell it after repair. I'm not saying they intended to do this, but seems at least worth a mention for potential buyers to be wary. Really too bad, we were looking forward to driving her as she was track prepped nicely... Here are a few pics of what we were delivered: [IMG]http://www.masterpiecepumpkins.com/Graphics/_IMAG1166-1180.jpg[/IMG] -------------------- Added Jan. 5, 2014: I spotted R #165 at a local carshow. Somehow it is back on the road WITH CA title and registration!! I have no idea how they pulled that off since I was told the title would be destroyed one it was handed over!!! [/QUOTE]
