Unhappy Pics of the car I worked on last week, before and after....

Been doing a few of these Carrera GTs lately, this one was only a week old, theres my STI in the background



and heres how I found it today



only FOUR days after I left it, he spins it off road and into cow pasture in Napa. so far the repair bill for THE PARTS ALONE is $225K!!



and heres the real heartbreaker, this is where the damage got into the carbon fiber tub a little bit, they have to fly a guy out here from Porsche to determine if the whole thing has to be sent back to Europe for repairs, the whole thing might get totaled out



these wheels cost 7K each, and yes that wood from a fence stuck in between the tire and wheel

In this situation the problem was between the steering wheel and the seat. That is where
the invisiguard needed to be applied.

Damn that sux, but I'm pretty sure if he can afford the car, he can afford the repairs or whatever insurance requires him to do so.

That sucks.....

I heard those cars are insanely hard to drive without spinning the tires, getting loose all over the place...
