OMG! I would cry and then bust out my concealed shot gun and kill some people

. Maaaan, that is crazy! I don't know what I'd do really and I'm pretty sure that shop will pay big time for that!

The front of an Elise is very light. When parked and with the steering column unlocked, you can grab one of the front wheels and turn it lock to lock.

Just to add some closure, one month later the owner of this Elise has settled with the Goodyear company and expects to get a new Elise very soon.

I work for Goodyear, and whoever racked the Elise up had to of been fired! This is what happens when people get in a hurry and forget that all cars cant sit on a lift like a Honda Civic.
