    Rear-ended by a 100MPH drunk driver

    I've met Hannah a while back, but I was working with Jason, who remembered me from last year's rally. I found out that Cory and Brooke have moved on :( I live down in Chandler-- it was a bit of a drive up there. Will definitely let the forum know where we land (I'm initially casting a wide...

    Rear-ended by a 100MPH drunk driver

    It's official. As of today, I am not a Lucid owner (unless you count Lucid stock and my Lucid Hot Wheels cars). Progressive, the other driver's insurance company, got me a quote last week where the methodology behind the quote was sound, but they didn't get the options on my car correct. They...

    Rear-ended by a 100MPH drunk driver

    Some action today... my car is being totaled. I'm still in shock, after the collision it still felt like the amazing car it was when I first brought it home. Gonna take a little time to process this.

    Any rumblings of another Arizona Lucid Owners Event?

    Just got an email saying the event has been delayed and they are rescheduling. Hoping my car will be back in time! :)

    Rear-ended by a 100MPH drunk driver

    My car went in to Raintree on January 27. The other driver's insurance company, based on photos and a video that they had me take, quoted a $9K estimate on repairs. A week after the car went in, Raintree estimated the repairs at $36K. And now I'm waiting for the insurance company to go to...

    Any rumblings of another Arizona Lucid Owners Event?

    I may be asking if someone would like me to ride along. I really don't want to miss the event but my car might. It went into the body shop on the 27th and I'm not sure it will be back in time. Bonus-- if I ride along, I get the chance to get to know one of my fellow owners that much better :)

    Rear-ended by a 100MPH drunk driver

    My daughter and I are still doing just fine-- we are so blessed. And finally, some progress with the car. I'm told by the other driver's insurance company that police reports are typically available to them 2-3 weeks after a collision, but in the case of a DUI, it can be 2-3 times as long...

    Rear-ended by a 100MPH drunk driver

    I said updates would be slow to come... first off, both my daughter and I have not had any lingering symptoms-- thank you for your prayers! We had a wonderful Christmas with family, and a quiet New Year. Both insurance companies have been in touch with me a few times and have also reached out...

    Rear-ended by a 100MPH drunk driver

    Walking into AMP-1 and being surprised by Peter giving the first talk on castings, extrusions, and forged parts and how they play together to absorb impact forces was one of my favorite moments of the rally in January. Right after Peter finished his talk, I turned to Zak Edson and asked, "Who's...

    Rear-ended by a 100MPH drunk driver

    First, thank you to the community for your concern. Yes, the other driver was arrested and additionally charged with endangerment and criminal damage. Up until the collision, the driving experience last night was surprisingly mellow. Lighter traffic than usual, and I was driving at about the...

    Rear-ended by a 100MPH drunk driver

    My daughter was with me as we were driving a steady 68MPH down Loop 101 in Chandler, in the right lane, and at 5:41PM, my rearview mirror was filled with speeding car less than a half-second before impact. The other driver stopped with us, AZ DPS came, and a witness returned to the scene to...

    New Ad Campaign

    I just noticed, the "USA" rocket clip at 0:25 in the Lucid ad is the same clip at 0:24 in the Vette ad. And yeah, it still works! :)

    New Ad Campaign

    Way to go, Lucid! The ad reminds me of what is perhaps my all-time favorite, which made me even prouder to be a Corvette owner. Remember this one?

    Day trip: Phoenix to Clarkdale and back

    My Dad just celebrated his 80th birthday, and I treated him and his wife (he's remarried) to a ride on the Verde Canyon Railroad last Monday. The ride was delightful-- highly recommended to anyone in Arizona, to enjoy the beautiful landscape. Not a lot of wildlife to be seen on this trip...

    Phoenix Lucid and Lattes - Saturday Sept 28

    It might be a cleverly-disguised mule :) Thank you, @Adnillien , for bringing us together again. I met some new people and really enjoyed it.
