Looks like a right front impact.

yeah i think it was right center impact, just trying to see if I get lucky and find out more. It's for sale and thinking about buying and fixing but want to find out more from prior owner or someone who knows the car.

Swear that car has been discussed here before and the owner is here too. Can't find it with quick search on my phone.

Here's a pic I found from the original auction after being totaled.

"Front end damage" is all I could find with a search. The picture you posted says it all though. Looks like the tub is twisted/bent. Need to see the car with the front trunk lid open.

It was totaled. That's not a good sign with low miles.

I've had recent phone conversations with two members who've been interested in my old car.

Apparently the virtuous and forthright vultures at LA Porsche Dismantlers are severely misrepresenting the car. Neither member who contacted me knew about the nature of the accident, that the driver airbag popped, or that the interior is essentially ruined.

Happy to help out any members who may be contemplating the purchase of the car, nevertheless.

I saw the photos of the steering wheel and laughed when it said that the airbag had never been deployed.

Ha! It deployed right in my face!

The car has a full leather interior that was covered in 20 oz of SBUX as well.
