The black 87.
Some 20 something girl driving her mom's Lexus SUV. As a matter of fact her mom showed up and was really giving her an earful. The mom walked over to me to apologize and caught a glimpse of the hood badge. Upon realizing, she turn back to her daughter yelling "A Porsche! You had to hit a Porsche!!". The daughter seemed more concerned with making her Sat night plans with her friends on her cell phone.

Not that I have never done anything wrong when driving...

baqcked into you, what a dumbass... I'm just crossing my fingers, i don't have collision on my car (only worth a few thousand) and I mean, the day the front end caves in is the day it's shipped to the scrap yard and the day I attempt to take out a car loan....

I recently watched a woman backing out of a parking space with her minivan, cell phone in onen hand, and never turned around.

She got out - cell phone in hand - walked around to look at her and the other guy's bumper, did not see any damage and got back into her car without saying one word. Then she drove off.
That was when I was wondering, if California still had a way to report a bad driver...
Yes, Nick: I don't want to have to deal with stuff like this. If the 928 gets damaged, it will linkely be totalled by the insurance. Then it will be hard to find a replacement for the money they'd pay. I might never own a 928 again, because I could not afford to bring another one up to the standard of this one.
Besides, the purpose is to have it for long time enjoyment, not for daily transportation. If someone decides to damage my Saab, I would not be happy, but so be it. The 928 and the other driver would have to fear for his/her life... (just kidding)

Wonder how happy she will be when mom takes away her cellphone and makes her
pay for restoring the black shark back to pristine condition.
Repeat after me little girl:" Will you like fries with that, sir."
Hopefully she'll learn from the mistake. We all hope.
Nearly got tagged back in December when car in right lane suddenly saw that the
highway exit was a left, not right exit. He/she in the Suzuki Vitara never knew i was
right next to them on the left till they were on the ramp and heard the tire/brake
squeel. I was ferrying JFKempf ( timing belt tension tool fame ) at the time and he
said I didn't lockup them wonderful S4 brakes till the last 1/4 second. He was waiting
to catch the Vitara spare tire in his lap. (Too damn close call)
