Angry Good Day finishes BAD..

my car got smoked leaving work last night... a dude in a chev venture minivan illegally parked on the roadside, pulled out into my lane with out looking.. his front left rammed my right front.. i am so choked.. just had my car back from the shop for LCA work, and it was workin awesome.... Guess I am more pissed that i will be without my car for at least 2 - 3 weeks.. and I'll end up having to rent a Yaris or something lame like that... F#$k what a drag..
oh.. and no one was hurt so thats cool

Can't stand some people's ignorance. I too have a black 996 C4S If you were closer I'd offer to let you drive mine a couple times a week until you get yours back.

Good luck!

That sucks, I just parked over night on the street and someone backed into my front wheel fender and took off. Hopefully the dents can pop out but the paint is deeply scratched in a few places that a repaint probably is necessary.
Frigging people and their lack of driving skills kills me.

Wow....I'd be pissed especially if original paint!!!

GL with the repair. You should be entitled to a Upscale rental.

oh **** that sucks! I was just without my car for a month. I was Rear Ended by a dumbass not paying attention, worse thing is i saw it coming. i watched him play with his Radio or whatever and then bang... I got it back on Thursday, I was not an fault, went thru insurance... I know how you feel...

Are you going thru Insurance? my Insurance gave me a Infiniti G37 not a Yaris...

Where are you taking it for Repairs?

The kid was 22, driving a 2000 Venture mini van, that was worth what one of my rims is worth. a total douche.. got out of his van, cursing, and swearing at me for not seeing him pull out from his parking spot.. he drove off with coolant leaking from his front end... smart!!

I am taking it to Mark Motors.. the Porsche dealer in Ottawa.. good or bad, i have had decent luck and good service with them, and I am/can be pretty **** so i am not anticipating any issues..

I will get an upscale rental. Cadillac was mentioned.. I tried for a Panamera or R8 but no luck...

not that 997's look terrible but the 996 Turbo front looks 100x times nicer.

Wait did you get his Info? Did you Call the Police to the Scene? Did you File Report?

I'd rather drive a Yaris than a Cadillac rental. You can drive the snot out of that little car and not even break the speed limit;-)
