Somebody told me that if I put some wax on before the autoX and didn't wipe it off that the cone marks would wipe right off, but this one is going to take some real elbow grease.

This is all NUCKING FUTS, and I refuse to SRIVE A GIT.

Trader, that was hilarious. And so true.

Repair cost on that car will be over $300,000.

Nothing about the CGT is like any car you know. It is literally like a LeMans prototype on the road. The car with the "little bumper dent" shown on PPBBS a while back cost $130,000 to fix.

Any impact to the tub requires sending the car back to the chassis builder in Yurrup. Like the broken ceramic rotor indicates, the materials used to build this car are not capable of recovering from certain kinds of impacts. The tub of the subject car is destroyed, meaning reconstruction is going to be more expensive than the value of salvage parts -- IOW, a total.

A CGT driven on the street without extreme care is a huge liability -- just a typical parking lot speed bump will destroy the three carbon fiber underbody air guides that, together, total $25,000 parts cost alone. This is a true exotic.

So what you are saying is that some bondo and a spray bomb won't do it?? D@mn, and I had started counting out my change.

To fix a Porsche like this you need a large supply of unobtainium as well as bondo & rattlecan.
