That 911 retails for $240K Ausie? I got one in Sapphire Blue I’ll let go for that price.

Glad it's a 997. Too many of those out there.

"Obviously the staff member was embarrassed and a little bit shocked, it kind of scooped the other car up, but the main thing is that he's OK."

I bet the 911 owner will beg to differ

AUD, mate, 0.76 to the USD. Then there is the luxury tax, which is 33% on any amount over $66,331. As an example, a $100k car will be hit with Stamp Duty taxes along, and a little over $11k in luxury car tax. I know, it’s almost as bad as California.

So did they cut up the car or the driver to get him out?

Parking’s at a premium there, so they stack ‘em.
