The question is, does he go glass for the replacement body panels or CF, I would put money he does a glass/CF composite if they weren't already! At least I would if I was that deep and I had to rebuild it!

Thank goodness he is around to do it!

That hood would have been a better choice for my weight reduction project than the one I bought.

Simply awesome amazingly fast and it really doesn't look like it sustained all that much damage. Glad the driver was able to walk away.

That video is insane. Hope the driver is ok!

1. I was amazed at how it spun like a top on the roof. Then, after seeing the pictures, I noticed that huge roll cage. Bet he's happy about that!
2. I think there's less "plumbing" in the engine room of a cruise ship! Is that all for the turbos!?
C. Where are the restrooms?

The pictures say "Never Lift Race Craft" but yet it did lift and helped contribute to the wreck.
