Never let the driver work on the car...

While I was innocently qualifying for the Reno race on Sunday morning, someone in a red Miata something didn't look in her mirror and smashed into the right side of the race car. Destroyed the front pax door, rear pax door, side skirt and rear fender, scratched up the rear bumper and bent a new wheel.

I don't have an insurance company. I can't touch it up. It won't buff out. Sigh.

Then another incident took the whole brand new front bumper and splitter assembly off the car, destroying it and bent another wheel. All told, there is a lot of damage.

All of this pales in comparison to the damage suffered by Neil Vanni's Honda and Patrick Sharp's Honda, both of which were written off in the same race. No insurance for them, either.

Hopefully, this cheered you up by putting things into perspective. Scratches in paint can easily be fixed. Relax and worry about more important stuff :wink:
