Driving down the highway southbound this morning and in the northbound lane a rock truck loses his rear axle which bounces over the center median and come within inches of hitting me in the 914 and just misses a cayenne turbo that was next to me. Holy shit! Thank god for my little car's ablility to swerve hard at high speeds, otherwise you would be reading my obituary.

I have actually seen this also. that big U bolt that holds the axle to the leaf springs snaps and the drive shaft gives up. scary to see it as it happens. I did not see it as it happened like you , i saw the aftermath.
Just tell the wife: see, 914s are safer than other cars |
