RE: F50 hits the wall

["Dupree, Jim" <dupree@alldata.com>]

It is going to cost far more than that to fix. I saw an F40 that had a
relatively minor off road excursion on a freeway on ramp. It clipped a small
tree with the left rear corner and damaged the engine lid ($38K), rear
bumper ($14K), rear wing cross piece ($?K) and cracked the nose piece
($26K). No damage to the chassis or cockpit shell and still cost about $120K
to fix and most of a year in the shop. It was driveable and did not look
that bad but when you have to buy from Ferrari you pay what ever they want
for it. Parts had to be paid for up front before they would order then and I
think maybe they didn't make them until they were ordered, or at least it
took long enough for them to have made them.
One fun car to drive but you have to be careful when the boost comes on!

		A good friend sent me this.  Thought the list might get a
kick out of it.
		The carbon shell is reported to run ~$75,000.  Ahhhh, the
fun of a track
