In hindsight, I should have hit the idiot.
Not good, radiator done in, wheel, fender tweaked. Hood looks OK.
Not sure about suspension.

I'm pretty bummed out. Had just done a major cleaning and wax job yesterday, looked so clean on the flatbed.
WOW, sorry to hear this Mark. Glad you're OK though, that's the important thing.


Best of luck for a speedy and perfect repair.

It took 4 pages before someone suggests it will buff right out. You guys are slipping.

Glad you're OK. The 996 is just stuff you can fix or replace.

Give Larry a call from Foreign Specialties for comparisons, they do excellent work (especially the paint aspect). They are in Manville (kinda far from you though) 908-526-6960.

Sorry to see this Marc. Ive been there myself. A good shop will be able to make it right again. Glad nobody was hurt as well.

On the bright side (if there is one) you still have the targa to drive.

That will ruin a Sunday! At least it was minor, with no one hurt. Now, comes the worst part....fighting with insurance to get it fixed right. Good Luck

That would definitely ruin your weekend!

Good luck on the repair. I just went through this process (thankfully not the p car) and it's not too fun. But in the end, mine turned out fine and I'm sure yours will too.

Who is your insurance carrier?
