I’ve had the opportunity to drive a lot of cool cars in my life, but before I even started up the engine in a race car I haven’t driven before, I always inspected it so I could make an informed decision on whether to drive it or not. You see, the decision isn’t about whether I’m willing to drive it, but whether or not I’m willing to be in it if I crash it. A steaming pile will go down the track when things go right, but a real race car is the one that will keep you alive when things go wrong.

So let’s say you crash your car and come out unscathed, but the car has seen better days. How do you know when it is right to rebuild it? How much damage is too much damage? When should you just start over?

Video Description:

Crashing your race car is never a good experience. The only good thing to come of it is if you come out unharmed. After the incident, the question always comes up… Should you repair what you have or start a new build from scratch.

Almost anything can be fixed, but at a certain point, sometimes it is just better to start over. In this video, Tim breaks down the reality of dealing with a wrecked race car. What kind of damage is usually ok to repair, how to handle it emotionally, financially, and much more.
