The lid? potentially. I haven't verified it isn't tweaked yet.

I am the pot, you are the kettle. Lol yep of course, that's why I had to say it.

MRLS is fun even without a car I think.

I don't know that I'd agree with that.

Might I suggest a cage?

Sorry about the car. Remember that skills currency is a thing -- you have to factor in taking a year off in New Zealand. Of course, I'm just as guilty (more so, really) of diving back into the deep end, so . . . .

<edit> The cage recommendation wasn't meant to poke fun. As you know, my track car has one and I really like the extra safety and chassis stiffness.

Nooooooooo!

Late to the thread as I've been off the forum for a while, but glad to hear you survived relatively intact (ego aside.) It's always confidence inspiring when you get to correct an emergency responder, eh?

That's a good idea. Mobius, why don't you get two new cars so you can keep on on standby.

And a stacker trailer and tow vehicle to match.

And I should convert them to electric. Then I'm like my own formula E team. Don't refuel, just swap cars.

Glad you're OK. This is why I always remind myself, "don't track anything you can't afford to lose or replace".

This is a photo I'll not be showing to the wifey. Glad everything but your ego is mostly unscathed.

Extreme weight reduction.

Radiator unsurprisingly is toast. Intercooler may be ok but is now slightly warped so I'm calling it toast as well.

I will, maybe I'll run it if it passes. All those aluminum seams getting tweaked, I don't know.
