Post Just totaled my car.....................

All drivers okay but my daily driver is totaled. Only the trunk lid made it without any dents. Hit what looked to be a puddle but was really 4 inches of mud. Car did 4 360's into traffic and nailed 2 other cars then came within 2 feet of decapitating me under a billboard and a train and within a foot of taking out a gas line.

I am lucky to be alive and extremly distrought. Please everyone wear your seatbelt.

It's freakin' Friday the 13th.

That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that...I kind of know how you feel, though the damage to my car wasn't as bad as yours.

Your daily driver isn't the 951....is it?? Nah it cant be, it was out of commission for a few months while you painted it...right??

Glad you're alright.

Sorry about that man, glad you are ok, and trying to look on the positive side at least it wasn't the 951.

Main thing is that everyone is alright. Cars can be replaced. Im glad you just came close to all those potentially deadly items rather than actually hit them. It could have been alot worse.

First off, glad to hear that you and all others are O.K. physically, and the seatbelt reminder is good for all.

I too would like to see some photos of your car if you can bring yourself to taking any. We have read from past posts about the safety of the 944's, and this might be another case in point. Sounds like you were lucky (in the most important ways), but you also most likely benefitted from the safety engineering of your Porsche.

Once again, glad you are safe.

And remember kiddies, its a jungle out there, and its Friday the 13th!
