Default Embarrassed of Flattered?

I'm not sure weather I should be embarrassed of flattered, but someone sent the photo of my 944 from after the accident into wreckedexotics.com

Flattered. Next time someone asks about the wreck just say "well, you can see pictures on some website that has to do with exotic 'high-class' cars, what was it called...? Ah yes, wreckedexotics.com."

Duck - I think it was major bruises and such, but I'm pretty sure he walked out of the car...
Wish I could find the story tho.

The driver was not wearing there seatbelt and there face smashed into something so they had to get glass/other stuff out. However for what I remember they actually waked away other then some cuts to the face.

Turn that negative into a positive, and receive it as a compliment. Now, your misfortune creates an indelible, graphic statement to all...

Several things:

1. The highway worker is standing erect without the aid of a
shovel.

2. The state patrolman is outside of his cruiser.

3. There doesn't appear to be a dohgnut within 50 yards of
either of them.

4. The rear window wiper isn't working.

5. The driver obviously was trying to elude police but couldn't
go fast enough because of the huge concrete lane divider
that has attached itself to his undercarriage.

6. It's raining in Costa Mesa, CA.

7. The baton on the officer's left hip is not swinging in the air,
making contact with the driver's head.
