Honestly, who got more screwed, the guy in the Merc or the guy in the FD? No matter what, the FD was totalled I'm sure, and you NEVER, EVER get that money nor time nor hard work back. He'd be lucky if he got $10k to start over with.

That just means he had even MORE money and MORE work into it. I hate to see anyone's rig get trashed, except maybe some Civics...
