Damn that sounded bad. How did you do that?!

Long story. Here's the quick version. Long steep down hill stretch only to make a sharp turn at the bottom, a car got a bit to close, had to make a choice, hit a curb, went airborne and the rest, as they say is history.

Oh, I'm around. It's just that it rains every time I come, so no one else shows up to track days. Last weekend got the first non-wet track day since last August.

I missed this post initially. Sorry to hear about the injury. Feel better soon!

It happens in a blink of an eye. Had a friend eat it a few months back. Glad you are doing better!

It sure does with zero time to think, just had to react. Fortunately, injuries were not too bad, although golf and riding took a back seat.

Glad to hear it wasn't worse (although it was plenty bad!) and that you are doing better! Makes one appreciate the little things we all take for granted when in good health!

Glad to hear it wasn't bad. My GT3 cratered my golf game last year. Not sure how things are looking for golf this year.

You guys need to be more careful with the extreme sports. Stick to safety by seatbelt..

Besides. One only gets so may cell divisions and breaths for this life. Take naps.

When buying an RS for $40-60k above sticker, it's hard not to think about depreciation since you literally bought something with an artificially inflated price. That goes double for 911 R and the like.

Porsche created this mess by arbitrarily limiting production.

The OP is right. But we all know it isn't that simple. Money is powerful.
