I appreciate an owner who lives by the maxim cars are meant to be driven.

      Zip ties? Why? Are the floormats loose?

    A car isn't truly yours until you've scuffed it. Now the love can begin.

    Looks like the back of my two week old roadster after I spun it into a fence… Carbon fiber is expensive to repair: who knew? I guess this one's "only" fiber glass but still…

    Skaycog and engineerd had better not look at this, I can just imagine the rending of clothing, gnashing of teeth, alligator tears, etc. This is not a pretty sight.

    Damn! That's a nasty crunch (ding? What is it called on fiberglass?) on a beautiful car. Even if it is a replica, the driver shouldn't go around assholing the cars in front of him with a GT40. It's damn near sacrilege.

    That'll buff right out. Do we say that here? Seriously, it looks like a little new 'glass and he's back in business.

    Every brazillionaire I've met keeps an extra hood/nose cone in the paddock for times like this.
    But seriously, I'd just duct tape it and head back out.

    Sure, this individual was racing, and good for them. But, I mean, come on, take a driving class or 3. Its much less expensive to get an education that it is to repair that shit.

      Even skilled, experienced racers bend them up now and again.

        Even 7-time Formula One World Champion, Michael Schumaker wrecks on occasion. Sometimes, it's even on accident!

    There is winning and there is shunting, if that is a word, both are nobel. Losing is not an option. Good on them. Now get back out there! It helps ease the pain.
