Default Bad day for my 996, but I walked away...

Greetings everyone. Started out as a great day, then this...
Other than my neck pain, no one was hurt, thank God, because bottom line, that's all that matters.
St. Louis area, after fire, EMS, and police left, it was temporarily parked near "crack alley," 100 miles from home.

Ouch! Better the front than the back, I suppose?

Glad everyone is ok.

Looks like you rear ended a Ford Expedition.

Get that neck pain checked out soon!


Too soon to say "That'll buff right out!"?

Cars can be repaired. Hope the occupants are okay. You must be a drummer based on your license plate. Bummer that it happened.

Sorry to see that, but glad you're OK. Judging from your license plate I'm guessing you're a drummer.

Now that we know you're ok and everyone walked away from the accident,

might I make one suggestion...

Remove the "PRKUSHN" tag and maybe, just maybe it won't take such a *beatin'* next time.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I was alone, and the other driver in the SUV was too. Definitely glad he was okay. I am a little sore, but it could have been worse.

Yes, music prof., percussionist, drummer, etc... b3freak, that was clever lol!

Just waiting on my friends body shop and insurance to start throwing numbers, but fixing my baby! Hood, bumper, lights, and that should be it.

Ouch! But, as others have said, at least no-one was hurt.

Gives you a chance to get rid of those orange indicators

glad you are ok, it looks repairable but have the shop check the front suspension and suspension mount points, they will have seen a great deal of compression force as the car got squashed down
