Ouch. Is that you?

No, thankfully. That was Car 10, we were "Car" 12 (with the tow strap...that had no hope). Would you believe the WRX was a total? That's what happens when you park on top of a stump at 35.

Dude, I'm in the middle of NASCAR country down here.

Don't I know it. And my sympathies! My sister used to live in Newbern and all I remember is straight roads. You might have to find an autocross for some curves. Looked like THCC had some of that.

Actually, I'd be more interested in road courses anyway

one link I found was the local Porsche club. If they have track days, it isn't uncommon for marque clubs to let other makes in to pay the bills, so I might hunt around for local BMW, Alfa, or other clubs.

And, as far as damage, I figured you were generally careful enough not to destroy your car. I was more curious about aesthetic damage, especially from the gravel.

Oh, yeah, some other mods I forgot:

- 3M headlight protectors
- home-made Lexan fog light covers
- OE Impreza mud flaps (had to hack the fronts for the WRX, but worked OK)

These last have worked really well so far. I have been monitoring for paint chips along the sides near the wheels, and was ready to install bigger, uglier flaps if needed, but it looks good so far (and we have thrown up a lot of gravel).
