Sadly i have to report that my pride and joy was hit by a pontiac going 40mph today. I was turning left in a driveway and the driver didn't notice me until the last second. She swerved but still caught the back of the Twofa pretty hard. Im pretty sad about this, i've spent the last 3 years making this car my own and put a lot of time and money into it just to have it killed by a 20yr old girl that was likely texting or something. She got a ticket (i did not) and the claims are in but Im thinking my lovely Porsche is going to get totalled. The damage extends to the door latch, it got tweeked too, the door doesn't open very well now, it also pushed the trunk floor up on that side pretty good.

Its going to be a long week getting this all sorted out. She was insured with USAA so im hoping that i don't get screwed. This is one hell of a buzz kill

OH! man she really got you,feel your pain, the worst part is your the one left with the mess & problaby having to figth for the money.BTW money will never pay for all the efforts you put in your car and that is the worst part.

Are you OK? That kind of hit without any warning can be very painful.. If your neck hurts at all, hold off on signing away any rights to a claim.

I'd guess that is surely a total. If you have a lot into your drivetrain, there are plenty of cheap shells and builders around. I wouldn't try to fix that one, personally.

Im feeling alright, i saw her at the last second, so i was kinda ready. We will see how i feel in the morning, but i think ill be alright. I agree that its not worth fixing, its too bad, it really was a solid car. I am happy that i had added some late 944 buckets (red!) to it, the highback saved me as i planted my head on it right before impact. It really helped that she swerved, i didn't catch the full brunt of her vehicles energy. It didn't set off the airbag in her 2005 grand am either.

Ill buy it back and find another car to use the parts on. I loved my porsche, i don't think i want to be with out one

That sucks!!! Your 924 was very cool. In the end these things have a way of working out once the insurance company pays off. I am glad you are ok.

wow so sorry to hear this! as stated, there are enough clean cars around just transfer all your goodies! might even come out ahead!

St3mpy

As long as you're ok, that's all that matters. There are 10,000+ cars just like it.

I've had 3 cars totalled out from under me. The first reaction is, by god I want to keep that car, it has been good to me, etc. In retrospect, I should have just taken the money and walked away, started over. Unless you are going to part it, just work on getting as much as you can out of them, including reimbursement for a rental, even if you have another vehicle.

Arominus

Im going to part it, and use the good stuff for a new one I had just replaced all the power steering lines and the rack, had new cv's. New calipers and pads up front, turbo sways, the blue pelican tranny mounts. It was nice. Ill make the most of what i have and crush the shell when ive got all i can out of it.

sorry to hear about the loss. if mine were damaged i would buy another one and move the parts over but it would still feel like i lost something...

want... if you happen to get a late car and dont need these let me know.

HICKS

Did this happen on constitution? Man, sorry for your loss!

Po924S

Ouch man I'm so sorry!
That was such a nice 924S. Get another 924S! Or trade to the dark (wide) side....

blown 944

sorry to hear this.
when you start to part it I may be interested in the main part of the spoiler. I have the sides already.

Again sorry to hear about another one of these things getting totalled. Glad you're OK though.
