That's right near my house. I read the article and figured he was just rolling a 996 (safe bet).
Didn't know we had any paparazzi way down in PV- thought they were all camped out at The Ivy in WeHo.

Wonder if he's ready to sell? Who knew bumper rash was caused by paparazzi?

Pic clearly shows a black 993. Hopefully the car was unharmed in the incident!

Oh no...that's terrible news!

Was the 993 scratched or dented?

Well, what little respect he garnered for his role in Thumbsucker, has now been lost with this Porsche abuse case.

He must be a porsche guy - I have a magazine at home that shows him driving his 996. Maybe Keanu thought the glass headlights of the 993 would be better when hitting someone.

I wonder if the paparazzi was able to see if he drives without the engine tray when he was down there!! Funny how these guys with cameras never capture one of their own after being rolled by the demon sent from Stuttgart.

Looks to me like he needs HIDs, turbo bumper, clear corners, lowered suspension....
