No wrecks.

Pretty sure you can't have a V8 RWD R8. Only the 2nd gen cars were available as RWD, and those are V10 / DCT only.

Cabin air filter behind glove box, not engine air filter.

Doubt it. The reformed spot has a crease like something physically pushed it, not a bend.

I think you're right. No wonder v8, mt6, AWD is the closest I can find. Looks like RWD didn't come out till 2018. I actually was looking for a unicorn.

I knew @Clipdat was the reason. He went by My car at the norcal event years ago at the norcal meet. How exactly did you do it?

It was when @Ultramaroon graciously tossed me his keys (lol literally who just gives their keys to someone they just met? <3) so I could feel the difference in his clutch pedal adjustments/helper spring removal.

I didn't actually test drive his car though, I walked past your car and hit the unlock button on the key and somehow your car unlocked. So naturally I took that opportunity to crunch the shit out of your cabin air filter. I can't believe it took you this long to find it!

She managed to stay retired for a couple months. Couldn't stand it. She's back to work on her own terms, happily whipping the pharmacy back into shape. Costco management is thrilled all the way to the top, and I'm lonely two days a week.

Well, now I'm disappointed. You thanked the clever image I posted and completely missed the joke.
