First, let me say that I am truly sorry for the loss. I am also really glad you are OK. I TOTALLY agree that the car is fixable. The feasibility of you being able to afford it all depends on how much of the work you can do yourself.
That all being said, this is exactly why I do not take my car to Heartland Park on a Test and Tune night. I am not willing to lose my investment. I am guessing low 3s, but I don't care enough to take the chance. I had a couple of guys giving me crap a while back for being scared to do it.
