    The good news it's not completely wrecked only costly front bumber cover. Would hate to hear from the wife though.

    Off 3 times in one day? Perhaps he should've waited to have his Evo tuned. If you play with fire, you've gotta be able to handle the heat!

    Try to get some pictures of the damage before they repair it, unless it really is just the front bumper.

    Awesome episode! Here's the thing, if you are going to attempt to tackle a Porsche GT3 cup car you better bring some serious game. Remember this is a company that has won more races than any other manufacturer in the world to date. So they know a thing or two about race tracks lol. Honestly, I wish the Evo a speedy recovery as it definately is a machine!
