I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

The thing that Largo and I were arguing about was how exactly a body shop would fix the damage. That crease looks just as bad in person, or worse. It's right on the corner, too. I was thinking that if they were good they might be able to pound it out and hammer it smooth, but Largo thought they would have to cut and weld a new section of quarter panel in from a junk car. Anybody know the real answer?

No matter how they fix it the damage is in a terrible spot. Stupid SUVs and their 3-foot-high bumpers. Normal cars don't have a chance for an even bumper-to-bumper collision that probably would've just scratched the bumper cover.
