Default Boss, I crashed your car.

I saw this on the evening news. Add another one to unemployment line!

a testament to the design and structure of even the lowest priced Porsche... barely a scratch after lifting a car nearly twice the weight, window in tact and the window frame holding up the weight of the SUV while the drive sits in a protected zone of safety... Bravo !!

As for the idiot that figured out how to get the car to go fast before he thought about how to slow it down... well, be thankful Porsche thought of you too....

Doesn't the tag look like a paper tag?? So, I guess the boss didn't even get to enjoy his new/used car very long.
What would the Carfax commercial say? Last driver used it to jump start his career search??

I used to have a Jeep GC about 10 yrs ago. I got rear ended by a Honda on the freeway. Same thing. Flipped me 180 degrees. The Honda did NOT survive the crash (driver was fine).

You get what you pay for in these vehicles.

I guess a lot of people missed the link under the photo (or just weren't paying good enough attention) so I'll borrow a page out of the IB playbook...

Please follow this link for the story behind the photo.
