Glad you're okay.

I was the QT in Gaffney the Sunday evening before Christmas and there was a Yellow S2000 parked to the side. I've been meaning to ask if that have been you.

Holy shit Yves.

Infinite sadness for the car. I'm extremely glad that you're ok though. You made that car your dream, and you'll make another your dream when you can. Hope I see you again soon.

Yves, glad to see you are OK. The car car be replaced.

With all the mods you had, I'm sure the insurance won't cover it all. Part out might be best but that too will be painful to experience.

Good luck.
