Other guy's insurance co. appraiser?? finally called 5 days later and left a voicemail. Gee, my car is a total loss, who would have thought it?
I am now supposed to wait patiently for their adjuster?, who I am sure will be extremely knowledgable of air-cooled Porsches, to call me.
Not yet has anyone asked if I was OK.

My decision to call a lawyer on day 1 is looking better and better.

Driving While Anorexic or Asian?

Either way, that BMW looked totally embarassed. It'll probably puke up a CEL just to see her freak.

It's been 4 months since the wreck, and the other driver finally had his 2nd arraignment yesterday (1st one was canceled when the court did not have a Spanish interpreter on hand). This time they did, for the 6 Hispanics who required one, and Senor G----- pleaded no contest, was fined and put on probation.

Meanwhile, I still don't have a car or any money. Georgia Farm Bureau, may they be infested with the fleas of a thousand camels, has gradually increased their offer, starting at $5000 and ending yesterday at $20,000 for my car, and they would get the carcass and the title. Buy back would cost me $8000. I can't possibly rebuild a decent car for that.

I think somebody at GFB wants to steal my Porsche, or what's left of it.

So, the lawsuit proceeds.

So then the other party pleads bankruptcy and its all over then ?

Sounds like you got screwed over pretty good !

SiberianDVM

The lawsuit is primarily directed at the other guys insurance company, so hopefully they won't declare bankruptcy over this piddling amount. Honestly, I find it hard to believe that they didn't even try to negotiate.

I agree that trying to get any money out of the other driver would probably be wasted effort. although I would do it if I thought it would keep him off the street.

Wow you are a brave man suing an insurance. Company

Good luck and keep us posted

After 8 months, the insurance company finally agreed to a settlement. I get some money and I get to strip parts off of my wreck. I have already bought a 1977 911S Targa widebody to be a recipient of my 84's 3.2 and 915 and what suspension parts and interior parts are salvageable. Hopefully, within a few months I will be back in a Porsche again.

911S:

Wow what a crazy story. Very happy you weren't seriosuly injured those Germans know how to build a car. Sounds like after some serious battling your getting A car back, $5k initial offer what a joke. Good luck with the new one. Nice targe looks good and hope she serves you well.

Thanks. Saturday I hauled the "new" 911S to the shop to have the motor and transmission from the "old" 911 Carrera installed. The wrecked car is about half stripped down. Very sad.
