It's ok, I understand.
I just came in from the garage - my buddy and I are trying to get the 
Camaro ready for a race on the weekend... here's what we fixed so far, 
and what's still broken from the last race:

Power steering belt alignment - ever try 120 laps on a dirt track with 
no power steering?
Broken exhaust - that's probably what caused the fire that melted the 
starter wiring and two plug wires.
We're in the middle of swapping rear ends, because when I got t-boned 
the last race, I bent an axle... and the housing.  1/4" toe in on a 
solid rear axle isn't so good...

I'm off tomorrow to get u-bolts, new rear shocks and axle seals.

It still needs to go to a frame shop because I got rear ended/t-boned 
and pushed the whole ass-end over about 2".

At least I didn't blow the motor.  Yet.
