Glad to see these being driven daily.
I agree with you. It is a car / property / piece of fast metal. No one was hurt. This is a stepping stone. In a few years I will upgrading to Turbo. Well that is the game plan. I can only hope.

I am not mad at the driver because **** happens. I have seen tooooo many horrific scenes in my life from murder (pregnant lady) to catching a rapist in the act.

Life goes on!

Peace everyone!

At least I dont live life off of other peoples mishaps like you. Now take your car out of the garage for once and drive it like it should be driven.
ah hem.... My car has 140,000 miles on it, How many does yours have?

yes, **** happens, and if you were lucky.... you could've gotten a turbo out of it. Just ask Larry how to do it properly next time.... he prob thinks his accident is funny as well.... just give it time and some beer.

I just dont like being called names. I parked my car like anyone and whack. I was walking back to my car and watched it happen from a half block away. Now that sucked!

Its all good. Forgive me for my name calling also.

Peace

I'm sure that no one thinks it's funny the car got hit. That really sucks. We all feel your pain. My 996 was hit by a pickup when I was at a Home Depot last week, also left front but it didn't get the light. I'm thinking of suing Porsche as their new commercials show people using their sports cars to haul things from the DIY store -- bad idea.

There's just something about getting dinged by a "cement truck" -- in part because it could have been MUCH worse! You got unlucky and lucky all at once.

But sorry to hear it, man.

Its a car. Meant to be driven. I have use mine to go grocery shopping. Haven't tried the P.U. truck use yet. I'm thinking of getting a tow hitch for the pulling the tractor and trailer. J/K

I love driving her and will drive her wherever I go within reason. If she gets hit I have insurance and I hope the person who hits me has it. If she is stolen I have insurance. I hope that neither of these things will happen. Its a car yes my dream car but still my car / lady.

Thanks to everyone for their sorrow.

It's a car. Sometimes they get damaged. Kyle (Shark Attack) has the right attitude.
