Damn, that's a horrible story, and here in Portland too? Exactly what part of town?

That is a nightmare... my condolences!

That really sucks!

Hope you don't have a long term lease on your office. I would look for a new one in another part of town.

Hope everything works out.

My condolences bro. it's a good thing you were right there so you could grab his plate#. You know, after the dust settles, you might just get enough cash out of this to do even more stuff to your sweet ride!!

Geesh... that bites! Best wishes on the repairs. Hope they drop that turd in the meat grinder.

At least the part about corn-holeing was pretty funny

The really bad part is that now your car will likely carry a carfax incident potentially making it worth less when you sell or trade. Even if it is repaired to perfection you may need to lower price by 5 to 10% to sell it. just a plain bummer.

Why is it that most of these DUI and hit and run stories involve a driver with NO FREAKING INSURANCE? Maybe there's a connection between not carrying insurance and being a totally irresponsible idiot with no judgment? With a hit and run and his SECOND DUI in that short a time period he should be suspended forever and then jailed for life at his next offense.

OMG, that's horrible especially after you have completed your front-end face-lift, Man, sorry to hear that... Though very fortunate that you were right there to witness the Hit-and-Run, quick reaction and response from your part, good for you. If that happen to me, I may freeze in shock and anger with a brain lock Good-luck with the repairs again.
Cheers,

LOL, that's a good one. Maybe I'll just bubble wrap the entire car too.

Downtown Milwaukie.

I've been somewhat expectant that something would happen as I get a lot of highschool kids from Milwaukie High that walk by every day, but I was thinking more along the lines of a scratch, not a 3/4 ton PU.

Okay, here are some pics. The good news is that they do have insurance. Safeco. Apparently his parents took it out for him. The policy is so new they don't even have the paperwork in the mail yet. But I do have his policy number.

Also, I'm stopping by Gran Prix Imports in Wilsonville this morning to see if I can get the name of an apprasier for diminutive value on the car.

I had a hard time getting to sleep last night. My brain just kept replaying the whole thing over and over in slow motion. I had to turn the TV on just to get my mind on something else.

This is a pic of the crappy bar establishment. The place just needs to be knocked down. I'd like to buy it and turn it into one big parking spot the Porsche.

My car was parked where the silver car in the middle is in this picture. The truck was in front of it.

Wow, those pics make me want to cry and it's not even mine.

I'm sorry about that, at least you got him and he didn't hurt anyone.
