Default My wonderful morning

Soooo driving past a truck the guy waited for the right time put down his window and threw an object at my window. I braked lost control into a ditch.










Funny thing is I had just pumped my tires to 38 psi 5 minutes earlier at the gas station. I wonder how things would have turned out if I didnt.

You get a thumbs up from all of us here. Your car was coming along really nicely. Hope you can get through the repairs quickly and get back on track.

Old saying is, when you fall down, it's best to get up twice.

That sucks dude. Best of luck with getting it sorted out, hopefully there's a 944 in a local junkyard you can pull stuff from.

Wow. I'm sorry that happened. Never ceases to amaze me how spiteful people can be for no reason. I hope the repairs go quickly and smoothly!

+1 on all the good vibes coming to you from us..have you seen the truck before in traffic near this intersection? Did you get a description of the truck? I guess that the cops were involved? Best of luck..we're pulling for you..

Its sucks man but we have all been there. Get it back home and get a solid inventory on what needs to be replaced or repaired. Maybe some generous folks here can donate parts if you cover shipping. Keep your head up.

Sore neck and back couldn't let me let her sit in the garage mangled up. I started work. I started thinking cut your loses and sale her engine and tranny, but you guys have been so encouraging. Thanks everyone! She will be prancing around again soon.
