Unhappy F*!CK I broke my Leg

No not that leg. My Leg lip

You know how bad crap happens in 3? A few weeks back someone back into my front bumper so it needs to be painted. On Tuesday I found out my company is outsourcing IT and will not have a job in a few months.

And now this.


I had a track day at PIR. I hit the apex of the 90˚ turn on 7 at full throttle and had a good line until I realized I was about to run into the person in front of me. Instead of rolling off the throttle like I know I should have done, I lifted and the front end got a little light. I went off the track over the curbing on the left side of the track.

Here is a pic of the track.

Awesome pic!

I'm hoping the lip is repairable. The bumper is going to be painted soon and I will see what they can do. If they can not fix the lip without it looking like crap then it will be painted BB.
