Default Who can come up with the best "priceless" saying

Poor phil lost his car to an idiot and I thought we could cheer him up with some funny "Priceless" jokes to go with the photos. Below is mine and is actually what happened. Which might be funny if it wasn't a pristine GT3 that got sent to the junkyard.


12 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon $8

Fight with your girlfriend $0

Laying scratch in reverse when you think you are going forward $0.50 in tire rubber

Totaling Porsche GT-3 $85,000

Look on cops face when they find you passed out drunk on the floor of your truck at the accident scene: Priceless

Haha....great title Greg.

For the inside story ....

Its my car!

I was on vacation about 3 weeks ago, and on a saturday morning I get a frantic phone call from on of my neighbors.

Turns out the brother of one of the neigbors, thoughthis truck was in drive....and mashed the go pedal....but instead of going forward........he went backward, and my car prolly saved the building.

6 pack of beer before drunken fight with girlfriend. $5.50.

DWI tickets, fines and court costs. $4500.00

Totaled Porsche GT-3. $85,000.00

Thinking the word "compact" is a verb. Priceless.

OH **** !!!

That hurts to even look at. I'd of been in tears and I don't cry all that easily..................

So sorry Phil.
I guess when we finally meet up for that cup of coffee, you won't be driven this particular car, or... Is it repairable??

Lol,
No its not repairable. Body damge was estimated at 40k, or more, and that was before suspension, transmission, and engine damage.

I just can't manage to find any humor at all. Sorry to see this, but have fun picking out a new Porsche.

I'd be bringing a big stick if someone ran into my car while drunk -- whether it was a GT3 or an old rusty Pinto. There is just NO excuse. I feel for ya Phil. I hope you recover from your loss SOON.

I can only imagine what the insurance person for that truck thought when he heard that they hit a GT3

Totaled GT3 and the truck looks like it could get by with a new bumper.

Unbelievable!

I would have thought it was GR given it was in Cal., etc......but for him to be driving anything as new as that truck he would have had to have just stolen it!

Wow, sorry to hear you lost your GT3, Phil. Can you make lemonade out of lemons and get a 997 GT3?

Exactly what I was thinking. I'm sure a 6GT3 is only part of the Phlat-Black-curse to be cast upon its owners. This might just simply be the transitional event that leads to the 7GT3...in white, ofcourse. Happy hunting.
