The First is the Worst

[Adam the Lighting Guy]

I wouldn't worry so much about "tearing up" your stuff. Autocross puts wear on your tires, but the rest of your car should be pretty resilient.


See, I bought this car with 160,000 miles on it.

It now has over 246,000 miles, but I can't keep track very well because the odometer failed and it has a newer one now.
The 80,000+ miles I put on it include several seasons of autocross, 5 or 6 track days, and a bit of misbehavior when no one was looking.

What's wrong with it? The 2007 paint job started peeling in 2015, and the electrical system is going to heck because the wiring is old and brittle.

Every "cone rash" so far has just been a line of schmutz that came off with the next wash.

My Evo's cone damage was from a track day, when I made an "agricultural excursion". So, now I need to replace one fender liner.

My Mustang is going to do autocross one day, and probably do some laps around a track.

You killed me with "Agricultural Excursion " !! Funny A/F. Looks like you've gotten your coin out of the 240SX. Jeeze, that's a lot of overall miles.

Honestly, it's not bothering me nearly as much after a few days. The car has not been professionally detailed since I've owned it (10/24). It will be fixed and that will be the end of it. It's not a biggie at all. It's just the mindset that this is my current pride and joy in terms of Hobby, interest, exploration of mods ect'. Some doofus next to me wasn't as similar of a mind set and a booboo was the end result. They probably didn't even see it happened. Whatever.

It's not as if I looped the car leaving Cars & Coffee and ate a curb or oncoming traffic.

Sorry you have to deal with that. Any pics?

I like these gatherings for the coffee and donuts. Plus a nice ride.
