Grrr. This happened only a half hour ago: I hit some sort of (steel?) beam lying all the way across my lane while on the highway. It was the start of rush hour traffic so I didn't see it through all the traffic until I was right on it. It made an awful crunch and after I swore and cursed I noticed my exhaust note had changed.
I got a chance to inspect it after I took my exit and pulled into a park-and-ride lot. Thankfully, no body damage but it punched a hole in my exhaust:
I looked as best I could and I don't think anything else is damaged. But now I have a more aggressive exhaust note for my trouble!

Ohw no that sucks. Well although you clearly had some bad luck, it could have been worse I suppose....

I know plenty of folks who would pay big bucks for an exhaust mod like that.
How come your tach doesn't have a Turbo logo on it? Is it only on aluminum gauges? Here is my last big milestone, two years ago:
I'm hoping to get a picture of the next time the mileage is a binary number which will be 111,000. Or 111,001 or 111,010 or 111,011...why, yes, I am a nerd.
Must be an option...I have a 2002 with logo.
Congrats Therapy on the new addition!!
If it meant her moving out of her proper seating and seatbelt location during a dangerous high speed acceleration then yes.

2. There was no "high speed acceleration" occuring when the picture was taken. High speed acceleration takes place when accelerating (at any given rate) from, well...high speed. "High speed" could mean several things. For example, it could mean a speed that is something above the posted speed limit, or it could mean a speed that is unsafe for the conditions. Or it could simply be a speed that is both legal and prudent for the conditions but that someone believes is "high" (for example, some people may consider 50 mph as "high speed", even when 50 mph is legal and prudent). My guess though, and of course I could be wrong, is that you intended to say "rate" instead of "speed", and you simply didn't think through what you were writing, or possibly just don't understand the difference. If you in fact meant "rate", then see my reply at item 1. above.
2. My wife simply extended her left arm slightly to her left, estimated where to point the phone camera, and took the picture.

I just picked mine up from Porsche of Tysons Corner in the Washington DC area. Bought it sight unseen a month ago and then spent the weekend traveling the 1,800 miles from there to the Western end of North Dakota. Weirdly, my car averaged over 27mpg (photo below) and I achieved 1.2 bar (too scared to snap a pic with that savagery going on) at some point.
Sorry for the big pics!
oh
