I have been lucky or smart enough to only spin the Pantera out on the track and never had any damage. I do now have an understanding of how fast everything happens though.
You aren't kidding. It seemed like the whole thing happened in two seconds. I don't even remember if I hit the brakes.
Insurance: kept meaning to switch over to agreed upon value insurance, but never had the time...wish I had made the time now. Dave Adler says they do a good job of knowing what they are insuring, and I am paying higher premiums for the Pantera than on the Porsche, so they must have set the value higher. We will see. I think they want PI to help them establish a value as well. That makes sense as PI is familiar with the car. They sold it to the guy I bought it from.
Dave even told me he almost died in that car...I responded "yeah, so did I." He was a passenger on a test drive that didn't go well. He said my car was the last test drive he went on. :-)
Everyone is correct that people are more important than cars. I would feel horrible if I seriously injured someone else. The good news is I suffered through hours of people making fun of me for drinking diet cokes, instead of beer, at the function I was at before this accident. I don't drink and drive, and this reinforced why.
