This car belongs to an American Air Force man in Germany. Took it to the track on winter tires and lost it on a corner.......

Bad news is: It happened.

Good news is: It could've been alot worse.

Ouch! Where was the initial point of impact?? Looks like some impaction on the left side of the front bumper. That hurts though.

looks like me in the morning.

It doesn't look serious. Did the airbags blow?

The only thing good thing about it is that he was running on a track when it happened. At least he took his pony out for a fun ride. Once he gets it fixed and puts some other tires on I'll bet he goes back there to play some more. Let's hope he emerges unscathed next time.

Oh well you live and learn. Too bad insurance won't cover it.

No, it doesn't. The guy damaged his car during an outing on a closed road course while doing what he likes to do. I question his choice of tires but otherwise I salute him for doing what I'd like to do. Up until what the Brits call a shunt, he must have been having fun. I'm sure he can fix the damage for not a whole lot of money.

i didnt mean to suggest it was bad that he was racing or anything like that

what i meant was that it stinks that he damaged the car at all. i'm all for racing on closed courses and the like and props too him for being considerate enough to his surrroundings to actually go to a track (street racers, be it drag or drift or whatever, **** me off in general), im just bummed at seeing a damaged mach (in my favoite mach color too)

no hard feelings, just clarifying
