The owner of that Elise is very involved in the 914 community, and IIRC, the tire shop is owned and operated by his father in law.

He's a really nice guy. These pictures are all over the car forums and everytime I see this crop up anew, he gets trashed...."awwe, poor rich guy who is too stupid and lazy...has to drive his Porsche b/c his Lotus is wrecked" blah blah blah (insert vomiting smiley here)

Just for the record, he does alot of good work advocating for special-needs children. Check out his site and you might understand why...

 

Kind of makes you want to drive a Taurus or Camry so you don't have to worry about things like this....nahhhhh.

 

I do and I still worry!!!!

 

still doesn't explain why he didn't roll in the tires instead of his whole car
like how most car enthusiasts that i know do...
