Seeing the car that it hit I think "Pooper Scooper" is appropriate. I bet the frame isn't even damaged from what I see in the pics. You can tell the first car was braking hard or he never would have gone under it.

I hope it was just a case of the 944 driver being inattentive, and not that the Honda outbraked the 944.

The driver was probably wondering where you got your avatar and stuffed the car.

My sunroofless coupe suffered the same fate - guy was going to part it, so I bought it so that dad and I could fix it. The rest is history......

"You can tell the first car was braking hard or he never would have gone under it."

Do you think that was the case??? Mine has been known to drop the nose a bit on hard braking. Do you think the guy in the white car was braking at the time or do you think it was all due to the dipping nose of the porsche?

And there's stuff on the road in the pictures... is that tar or oil residue of some sort? I wonder if that led to part of the problem?
