Bummer dude.

Perfect impression of a guard rail in the fender is bad...

Posted by: Brando Dec 8 2006, 08:03 PM

Perfect is right The dude behind me in a honda spun, but luckily missed the curb and guard rail. Lucky for him.

Posted for sale. Anyone looking for a 944 donor engine? I'm almost tempted to use it as a conversion piece but I'd have to start cutting firewall. 130hp out of the box. A friend of mine actually suggested adding coverage to my insurance, then in a month or two reporting the accident and getting them to either total the car or repair it. I don't much like the idea since the repercussions for fraud are criminal, whereas if I sell as is I might get some money. And if they did total the car and give me cash... It'd probably be the same as what I'll fetch selling the car; sans the hit on my driving record and raised insurance rates.

Sorry to hear about that.

You're doing the right thing about the insurance, even if you got away with it, the rates would be higher for you in the long run (even if you got rid of the car).

Sorry to hear about the car... but the good news is you're OK... and you were already thinking of selling the car, right?

I have a compete pannel for both sides for a 944 turbo (exact same as a NA).. cut the old piece out.. weld the new piece in.. grind, glaze putty, primer paint.. be done.
