A car should never be anyone's identity. It's easy for me to say this, but after all, this is a car website.

I understand the why but you can't let a material object define who you are. I agree with noclue - you get into an accident of any kind, whether on the street or on the track, the car is gone and you're left picking up the pieces of the repair bills. I think the track day accident should have raised the alarm bells where he had to spend his savings to fix the car and he's down to $90 in savings. That is no way to live.
