I disagree with what Jay said about not wrecking it if he had done the last rebuild. The choice to race and the urge to compete at least as powerful, especially when that race has almost as much history for Bana as the car does. That first race in that car is what got him into motorsports. Revisiting it in a much better prepared and funded manner only increases the urge to do well.

I also think Dr. Phil is full of it. Cheap therapy... Physics gets in the way of emotion in some respects. Many pieces of bent/broken metal cannot be made whole again, only replaced. Perhaps a better suggestion would be to "transplant" the heart/engine and other salvageable parts into a new body. That transplant becomes part of the memory, not a detractor from it. Heck, earlier they said that very little of the original car actually survived the last rebuild.
