Ordered an oil change kit from my local Porsche shop back in VA. I miss those guys, they are awesome!

No airbags surprisingly. Insurance wants to total but it is getting repaired since frame seems fine!

So, your Macan and turbo both got hit? That’s terrible, so sorry!

@2fcknfst Better money spent than a foundation repair I've got to do...

Home renovations - I didn't know I could spend money with this velocity and not end up with a new hot motor...
Isn't that the truth. Finally finished a 7 year reno on mine, top to bottom.... Makes Porsche's look cheap...

the person driving the Atlas probably didn't approve of the headlight covers of the 996 and took matters into their own hands. Must be a purist vigilante. keep your eyes peeled.

kidding aside hope everyone is okay sorry about the damage to your baby.

Maybe they were wearing the mask to help reduce pollen intake (through breathing.)

Brake fluid flush + went for a drive.

I'm still amazed that this is a 20 year-old car.

It's those GT2RS gears that really make it...
