As others have pointed out, he's a definitely not a newbie and he's a very friendly and generous owner too.

"That should buff right out...."
Had to be said, sorry it took 4 pages to get to it.
Lucky man....that is one scary looking impact. Makes the hit I took in my Toyota truck look downright gentle. Broken pelvis can't be fun, but it's much better than being dead. Hope the recovery goes well, and he is able to drive his other 928's in the future.

But really- a 2007 WRX STi is a much safer car than our 928s. I mean hell, it's MADE to be offroad and the engineers have to expect the car to plummet off a mountain in order to make it safe as can be.
sorrryyyy....

Dang tree hugging Global Warming fanatics are taking our 928s one by one lol.
That picture just makes me glad I live in Florida. Minus the fact I would hate to hit the pointy base of a palm tree on the driver side.

MAYBE in an A8 Quattro with snow tires- That's about it. You may be able to keep your line, but any evasive/ emergency maneuver & you'll end up like (Elton) Joe. Wishing him a speedy & full recovery.

A Subaru always looks worse than a 928.
You sure this isn't Elton John
