    Curve Ball

    Here's how you sell a totaled car with impunity. I've heard of deals like this at the track.

    Put it back together and tell a story about why it's been re-painted.

    i can see this being fixed right up. 'front end touched up because of rock chips'.... no mention of how big the rocks were. Bummer, they are great cars.

    Yeah...that will buff right out...

    And...they didn't post a complete VIN so nobody can keep track of it.

    Yellow GT4's from CA are off the table.

    I had a good laugh seeing the front and rear bumper covers. There's"just a wee bit more" to be done up front besides a cover. Chassis is bent for sure. "Airbag deployed".

    NICB should be made aware of it.
    Send CA DMV for a visit.
