And even that was bizarre. About half of that amount was comprised of used air-cooled 911 parts. He offered them to me to re-sell. Thanks, but I thought that he should have sold them and then offered me the proceeds. Ultimately, the repair shop took the parts and gave me a cash credit that was less than the re-sale value of the parts since they had to store, list, sell, and ship them.

Ouch --
I'll be honest, I don't expect to be paid from an on track incident... I drive what I can either afford to fix or afford to walk away from.
There are some folks I share the track with whose cars cost more than my house!
Not sure what my mental state will be when I cause something.
things can go wrong so quickly on track -- and we're all amateurs out there.
I try really hard to play nicely and in the big picture of things, conservatively.
I think I'm more of a "just stick my head in the sand and hope for the best" kind of racer, as opposed to the "stick my nose in the corner and pray :-)"
I'd rather give space or spots than trade paint.
Probably why I get to watch a lot of good racing in front of me :-)
