Angela's Girl

This job is one I have taken to heart. Angela is a true Lotus enthusiast and we are honored to have the opportunity to do what we do best, service the driver. Angela, this one's for you and all of the bull you have gone through with insurance companies and people who just dont get what your "Purple Girl" means to you. Follow along as we bring her back to life. ~Jenni

Angela's Girl in all of her glory....
                  this is what she looked like just a little over a month ago..
On Sept 9, 2011 a 22 year old, uninsured drunk driver plowed into Angela's carport and home at the speed of 55 mph while being chased by the police. Thinking she was experiencing an earthquake, Angela awoke abruptly to realize her worst nightmare had just come true. Her "Purple Girl", her most prized possession and the only thing she has left of her Mother lie in her carport pushed sideways into her '65 Ford Ranchero project car.  "Purple Girl"  took the brunt of the damage, but an ATV, Wave Runner and the Ranchero were all damaged. Refusing to give up after her insurance company and others told her it was over, Angela called us to see if there was anything we could do to revive her "Purple Girl". Stay tuned as we diagnose and cure "purple girl" of her ailments.. after all, we believe that we can bring her back to life and return her to the condition you see in the photo and back into the arms of the one who loves her the most. Angela!

"Purple Girl" arrives at the shop to be diagnosed..
