Seen through *broken* glass, and a thick film of tears.... I empathize, Sam! (It's a bit like finding out a loved one has just suffered an accident, isn't it?) I have to be honest, I started to watch your channel just because of the 4C, but now I'll be watching because I've invested myself in the driver as well. Please DO keep us all informed regarding the recuperation of the The Crimson Dame (perhaps some 4C Alficionados can learn from your experience). I think with an auto like that, parked on a public street, there's ALWAYS eyes on it (perks for being beautiful/out of the ordinary). And the police likely respect you, thinking you're mighty wealthy/successful for owning a baby F (perks for maintaining an image of influence). And you're also a nice guy... The car IS wide, but you'd think that people would notice it on account of its beauty, so I suspect the van culprit might have been intoxicated. Interesting to see what a carbon fiber gash looks like. Thank you for showing her wounds. But all's well that ends well :)

I would know how you feel is someone did this to my 2013 SRT Viper GTS, but fortunately that hasn't happened, and since it is in my garage for the winter, it's pretty safe. I have had something like this happen to my '08 STi, but it wasn't as severe, and hey, it's a rally car, so I just took some bondo, matching WRB paint, and then put a big Subie swoosh decal over it. Good as new. Definitely not something you do with that car. Hang in there. It's good that you shared this. If you can survive this experience it lets the rest of us know we can do it too. Cheers.
