You're likely to be quite achy.
But thankfully, alive. Good for you. Bad for the 911. I regret its loss.

Yeah I don't think being a selfish douchebag and not having adequate insurance is unique to any political persuasion, geography or socio-economic strata.
Here in (Queensland) Australia, the police cars are now fitted with ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras that read around 40+ number plates (licence plates in American) per minute.
The hit rate on these is staggering, like 1 in 6 cars are not registered. The implication here (in QLD) is that without registration there is no CTP (Compulsory Third Party) insurance that covers injuries to third parties (persons not vehicle). Its also the case that most insurers won't cover an unregistered vehicle.
I've installed a discreet (front and rear) dash cam system in both my wife's station wagon and my 911. We've already used it once to identify a moron who couldn't park without hitting the wagon.
Glad to see you're OK in this instance - awful to see the 911 in such a state though.

Rightfully so.
I have not been following the thread so I might have missed something but the OP did not disclose the age of the other driver. She could be a new (teenage) driver who has no clue of insurance coverage. These are all scenarios since we don't have all the information.
Just like I said previously, if she has a previous record of misdemeanor/offenses (not a first offense) then she should be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

firstly, if you have a drivers license and operate a motor vehicle, it is your responsibility to know about "insurance coverage". Both for your own personal protection and because its the law.
secondly, I don't care if she's had her license for 15 years or 15 minutes, if you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, you do not flee the scene of the accident. period.
Thirdly, if you have any morals or common ****ing decency, you don't flee an accident in which the other person could be seriously injured. This transcends the law. Looking at this guys 997, he could have had life threatening injuries, and this piece of **** just drives off.
How in the hell you think defending her is ok because it may have been her first time, I have no idea.

Man that is ugly, glad you are ok.
Malex, I have two teenager drivers, one who got in an accident, 10 days after getting her license with her sister in the car. Could have driven home. But she stopped, moved the car from the road so as not to interfere with traffic, called the police and then called me. In that order. They were fine but totaled her beetle. It was a single car accident but she knew exactly what to do.
Trying in some way to possibly justify this due to someone's age makes absolutely no sense. This person DESTROYED someones car and could have seriously injured them. A couple of feet and that would have been horrific. Any human with any decency would get out of the car and make sure the person THEY hit was at least ok.

Re pixs: Sniff 
Looks to me like she made the ultimate sacrifice. Be careful out there. saw a woman yesterday at light texting w line of traffic behind her. She refused to move on green until she finished her conversation, horns blasting at her and all. Unf****ing believable.

I threw up a little in my mouth when I saw these pictures. You're lucky that you're okay. Does your state have the death penalty for Porsche-cide?

So, do I take your note to mean that they're going to repair it rather than total and replace?
Quite the optimist, this adjuster. Perhaps I'm pessimistic, but your car looks a bit--well, dead.

The Insurance Company is going to look to save money first. The shop they choose is going to be average at best…you need artists!!!! The body shop not the claims adjustor needs to give you the number which is probably much higher than that 38K. The dealer is going to send you someplace where they have a stake in the work (maybe they own all of part of it or get a significant kickback).
I don't understand the "what's next" comment. What's next is you getting your car back fixed. If you don't want that car back fixed now's the time to lobby for a total loss. Either way if you want this to turn out in a way that's good for you your work has just begun. Don't do the work and it'll turn out good for your Insurance Company.
It's up to you!
