In the wise words of the La Carrera's North American Coordinator, Gerie Bledsoe, "La Carrera Panamericana is a long, hard endurance race. Like other forms of motor sports, it is extremely dangerous."

I usually spot a few cars that I absolutely do not want to be raced because I know they will be beat up and often times totalled along the way. I want to keep them pretty instead! Here are some "after" pictures. The Mustangs seemed to take an intense beating this year - not too many survived. All 4 of our cars survived unscathed this year.
