Dumpster diving
I was at COTA today visiting a friend who's a car chief for a Cayman GT4 race car. As I was leaving I saw this right next to the full dumpster. Slammed my brakes and threw it in the back of my car. Like they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure. I got back to my shop and quickly found a spot for it.

I need a large metal building for these things. I've got a fairing from a sport bike I laid down years ago in my garage like this.

I was wondering what happened to that...I set it by the dumpster for my painter to pick up, and it was gone when he arrived...

LOL. I felt like I was stealing it when I grabbed it. It's not even in that bad of shape. It got a little scuffed up on the right side and you can see the damage through the front grill. A little epoxy and it's as good as new. Now I just need a GT3 with a wrecked front bumper
