i'm telling you, you should have been in the car. no matter how slow i went through every corner i'd drift like it was my job. i'm amazed the car is in one piece after those two slow laps.

Main Street Auto Body? The guy seems decent, saved me some cash on parts and is cutting me a little bit on labor. Any experiences with them?

Well I went off at 1 and intended to pit at the end of that lap. I just didn't make it quite that far. Like you were saying about your experience, no matter how slow I seemed to go into turns, I was drifting around like a drunk Cuban. The estimate is around $5500. Life goes on.

Good luck with the repairs. Hopefully they won't find anymore damage once they strip it down.
