When I first saw these pictures a couple days ago, I was sick at my stomach! For a Porschephile as big as I am, that is devastating!

I'm just glad that no one was hurt.

ok i guess no one saw my post on the 356 board

anyways it is a tragedy. the black one is a total loss. i wouldnt be supprised if all are.. but the red one looks fixable from what i have seen.

and the black one also has the uber rare rudge knock off wheels that i would give my left nut for too. (destroyed as well)

Sad that you can see how minty clean the cars were before the crash. What are the odds?
