Back in their hayday, the LeCar was raced in Showroom stock. All you were permitted to do was add a rollbay and take out the spare tire. Two LeCar's, driven by two nice ladies, were competing hammer and tonf not to be dead last.
They came to trhe corner I was working, and one got sideways, and upon leaving the pavement, began to roll. The car desintigeated, throwing parts high in the air. The hatch door flew highest of all, but landed unhurt (except broken hinges) on the ground. Odd.
The lady driver was, fortunately, unhurt. Distraught about the ar, but unhurt. In trying to comfort her, I made the observation that I knew she had a small MC she could make due with until she replaced the car, after all, it was only metal.
She advised that she had a 4 year loan on the car, no insurance for this accident (only fire and theft) and wailed that she'd be driving the MC for four years, and broke into free flowing tears!
Lucky for her, later that day, the car was stolen, never to be seen again.......
Yes, that LeCar was dureable
