Oooohhh, OUCH!

Glad the driver was ok, but that car has got to be history. And as for AWD, PSM, ABS, or whatever, the laws of Physics and Good Judgment cannot be circumvented...a reminder to me as well

Ouch ouch ouch

2 days ago I saw a white 993 Cabriolet in a similar accident as that Arena Red 993. We were on Hwy 280 and it was raining very heavily when that accident happened... I felt sad when I passed by that white cabriolet

Default question

Construction zones usually have bad drainage. I rarely drive my P-car in the rain. But am interest in knowing how bad is hydro-planning with our wide tires (AWD won't help while you are "floating")

Painful, but thankful the driver was OK.

Speaking of painful sights, I spent the morning at LA Porche dismantler's buying a few items. They had a whole wharehouse full of wrecked 993TT, C4S' etc. Some wrecked REALLY bad. Sorry to see those wonderful cars crunched.

I think the bit of rear bumber that is visiable it looks more like a 964. Did the occupant survive?

I think the crunched one is an older 911. It doesn't appear to have an airbag and the bumpers look like 911 bumpers.

if you look at wheels, rear fender and bumper and esp passenger mirror it doesn't look like a 993...

I'd say 964 too.

What the heck did it hit?
