Wow! I am really sorry to see this! I can only imagine how you feel. I got into a minor fender bender the other day and need a new hood and I felt awful for a couple of days. Sometimes isht just happens though. I'm glad to see that you are ok (at least I think so!). On the positive side, it looks like the car is really quite safe--I can't believe the roof is in such good shape.

I haven't read the whole thread, so I'm not quite sure how you are taking all of this, but to me, there is at least a small amount of solace in how the car went out. I have another car that I absolutely adore and would be pretty sad if it got totalled. However, I also track the car and realize there is a certain danger of driving the car close to, at, or above the limit, even in a controlled environment. To me though, if the car is going to be taken from me in any manner, I would feel better having it go doing something I love and built the car for as opposed to say driving to the store and work and having someone plow into me or have the car randomly set itself on fire. I know it's not much comfort right now, but at least the car went out while you were enjoying it and driving it in a manner like it was intended.

In addition, now's your opportunity to get another crossfire and maybe go in a different direction for the mods just because you can.
