Angry the end of an era

black ice + snow + sudden whiteout blizzard + mountain roads =



i walked away with barely a scratch.

the car is currently in kelowna (canada) and needs to get to seattle (usa). if anybody with towing abilities can help me retrieve it after the snow melts, i'd appreciate it.

Wait, after all that you stopped to fill it up?..

Sorry, couldn't resist.

That is absolutely brutal!!

Isn't it such a terrible thing to lose a car? I hope you understand that you're not the only one. It's wonderful news that you got out relatively unharmed. Mind giving us a kind of play-by-play?.. Looks like you ended up on your roof. (Obviously). I'm kind of curious how it happened. Did you have winter tires on? Mind if I ask where this happened?...
I presume you were alone in the car.

Man, that is just amazing.... I don't even know what else to say!

Sorry to hear it. Luckily you're ok, though. Now you need to start the hunt for another one!

Holy **** dude. It's incredible that you walked away! It sucks about the car, but if you're still walking around you have nothing to complain about. Care to elaborate on what happened? Hopefully your insurance will take good care of you and get you back on the road in another quickly.

Wow! That is terrible, but on the bright side you're still around to talk about it.

Man, I'm glad I decided to go with a rollbar over a harness bar.

I'm really sorry for your loss, I hope that you can find a replacement, soon. More importantly, I'm glad that you made it out unscathed.

WOW! How fast were you going and/or how much did you drop when you flipped it?

I'm surprised your head was still attached after that... let alone you walking away with "barely a scratch!" I am truly sorry man, you were the original owner of that too... that's a real shame. But wow... glad you are ok!!

Like Joe said... it's time to hunt for a new one

Sorry to hear it, I know your pain.
Just be glad that you are ok, and a car can be replaced.
Since the car is in canada, I was wondering if you would sell the front bumper with the lights, sorry I could not resist asking.

Wow, that is saddening to see. I bet you are having a real hard time with it, being the origional owner. It is indeed the end of an era for you. What are you plans? another 951? another porsche?

Oh, and if rads doesn't take it, I could use the front bumper cover.
