I'm thinking the ins company and dealer are going to have to fight it out. If they deemed it safe to drive after the damage inspection its on them, plus the warranty is covered by them. Just get a good settlement , go buy another car and let them duke it out.

I'm not sure who that was telling people the car was just about to explode but she has seen too many lethal weapon movies, but I imagine adrenaline was pretty high . Gasoline vapors explode, gasoline just burns as it pours out.

on the flip side looking for a new car is kind of an exciting time .... and the new Audi RS5 sportback is out ...

Get your settlement. Buy a Growth Mutual Fund. Then order a new 992 in about 12 months.

My wife melted in shock. That’s an off duty paramedic shouting beside me.

Did you see Doug Demuro’s RS3 review? He sure has convinced me enough to like that little car now.

But that 5 cyl is a thing of beauty. I was contemplating if to replace my A6 as the DD, but damn it's small.

Then again, given the mkts still lofty levels in 12 months he may only be able to afford an M2.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...
