So I get a lot of shit from friends, and on here for not taking the R8 to events like the half mile. "Come on Turk, what are you worried about, the car is stock." "Come on Turk, why did you buy the car, bring it out, nothing would ever happen."
Shit happens, it always has and always will and it's impossible to predict just when and how it will happen. It is possible to reduce the impact of shit happening, though, which is why in April I purchased a 2016 WRX. A daily driver that I could also taking to events like auto cross, which I did today.
Unfortunately, shit happened today, and I got a taste of it. A C7 Z06 lost control and barreled towards the staging lanes and eventually smashed right into the side of a white Miata. The Z06 was going fast enough that he carried the Miata right into the front of my WRX, and also hit an M235i. Out of the 4 cars involved, I probably suffered the least amount of damage but damn, what if that was my R8?
