Well, It happened again! Some wonderfull and carefull person completely forgot his car had a brake pedal.
I had to shove the door to get it to open.
I'm driving a long and the traffic slows for a road works signs every where, the car in front brakes not hard so so do I, next thing I know I'm fighting to keep the car going straight.
Good news so far I think I'm fine and happy I was driving a 944 ! kinda of.

Damn! Glad you're okay. How fast was he going to be able to tear the sheet metal like that? Any pics of the other car?

Thanks guys, I think I'm fine, have to see how stiff I feel in the morning.
Yeah thats gas, just filled up 40 miles ago when I got on the high way. The state trooper had the fire brigade turn out but no BBQ.

So sad. It looks like it was in good shape too.

I just drove my 944 to GR MI a few weeks ago. Nice little town. My brother has a condo in the Bridgewater right next to the Gerald Ford museum. Great view. I watched the highway from his living room as if it were a TV, looking for Porsches. I can't say I saw a single one in 2 afternoons.

When you feel better, hit Brewery Vivant and plot your next 944 purchase. Maybe this is an opportunity to go for a 951???

Man sorry about that. It looked very nice, glad you're ok. That is one very hard hit.

What kind of car hit you and I bet it looked just as bad?
