my car happly sits in th garage, and comes out for track days

it built to get thrashed not be a family car

Hey matt,

but there is a big big difference to us crazy dudes running around trackdays, which are relatively safe due to us keeping a good margin of safety, and those really crazy dudes driving +150kph through tiny forest roads in road rallies with no margin of safety and only a rollcage and helmet saving your life.

Still great respect for those rally drivers, its an awsome sport. Seeing hachi's rally brings up mixed emotions, its great to see our cars in such a great competative sport, but at the same time I have to agree with the sentiment here, so many of the cars end up at the scrappers so easily this way.

On the other hand, the amount of effort and time most of these rally guys put into bringing their hachi back into racing condition after a crash... more often then not the crashes don't mean a total loss... I think we'd be surprised how many cars are still salvaged from those crashes...
