detaart It's much worse to crash a hand built car than it is to crash a press car or something insurance will pay to replace entirely. I felt absolutely terrible after that. I don't even want to know what Danny was thinking watching me crash that car and then handing me his keys, after never letting anyone else drive his car. Danny is a champion.

TheSmokingTire It will be back, stronger and better.I crashed my vx the first day i got to drive it after a one year build. Shifter cable stuck, and instead of going up a gear, it went into some random other gear (lower obviously). I spun and crashed it. It's back in our shed. Have to rebuild. It, too, will be stronger and better. So yeah i know how that part feels ... but i can't imagine watching someone else doing it for you Don't be too hard on yourself about it. Accidents happen. All things considered, it wasn't too bad. I thought the damage would be worse, judging from the footage. Another automotive journo would just have shrugged it off and walked away. You didn't. You actually give a fuck. So, again, kudos.

Would like to see the Civic again some day but doubtful seeing as its in NZ and would require another trip back to there to try again...either way, it was bound to happen one day, and at least, although being a very custom car with a lot of work put into it, it was a Civic and not a Ferrari or some other very pricey toy, and it was just a front bumper, not an engine, intercooler, entire car, ect...So its not like he just dropped 50 grand for that, although I'm sure Matt still payed Matt (Lol) a decent bit for that hand made bumper.

Na dude. You might feel like an ass, but there is a huge reason why so many track cars have raw bodywork or flat solid colours: we expect to crash and repair/replace it. You can buy "carbon fibre" by the roll and cut your sheets as you like - it lays up just the same as fibre glass. My father has done so much body work between my brother and myself that all it costs is a case of beer. If you're not driving hard enough to crash it: you're not driving it hard enough. I'm genuinely surprised he took your money - not saying he's a bad or good guy or anything. But just surprised he accepted it. Surely he knows he can repair that bumper in half a days work.

I guess that people don't realize that the risks are real in this web show, and so are the people and vehicles. Matt is an excellent driver with hundreds, if not thousands of hours behind the wheel in a performance environment. Mistakes happen, especially in an unfamiliar car at an unfamiliar track in adverse conditions. He wasn't going absurdly fast from the looks of the video. Despite all of this, sure does make for a great episode. It really shows your character the way that you genuinely cared about the car and the owner. Keep on keepin on!

This was an accident, an unfortunate one especially considering the hand made parts involved. Just like you said, every time you get in a car you're taking a risk, but with the same token every time someone hands you their keys they're taking the same risk. You didn't do it on purpose and accidents happen, especially in that horrendous weather at racing speeds. You're a good guy Matt making mistakes happens, I have no doubt that you reimbursed him fully. If anything seeing how distraught you were when you first saw the damage only reinforced how much you care about every car you get in.

Been watching you since the TUNED series on Drive, always liked your content but after this film and seeing how humble you can be my respect for you has gone up immensely. You're a great guy Mr Farah.

Mad props on the video. Not many online would admit to not being 100% perfect. This only increases my respect for you.

Watermelon Sometimes doing more with less has a place. Hill climb/short course vehicles are definitely one of those places. Good luck using your 800hp in a 1000rpm band engine when you are only on the gas for 2 second sprints at a time.

Great episode. Glad you guys are open to share your failings as it's not all glitz and glamor in the automotive world. In Matts defense, it was fairly wet out there by the looks of it. Hydroplaning is no joke... happens just like that unless you've got your puddle radar on lock. Good no one was hurt and that the car will go on to race another day. Even though Mitsubishi's aren't anything to write home about these days, i've still got a soft spot in my heart for them. I love mine dearly.

Hey Matt, Crash my car so you can repair it :) Hope you are well. Im the guy that works at the Smart & Final down the street from your shop. It sucks to see that small wreck. I Hope it all turned out well. :)
