And your paint looks nice... very nice.

Sorry about that, brother...... mine is a piece of just, and NEVER gets as much as a scratch.

Go figure.

I'm just hoping her insurance will step up to the plate and repair it correctly.

PS: Now would probably be a good time to fix that upside down turn signal lens.

Sorry to hear,not too bad,makes me wonder about owners of real 914/6's you would be very cautious going on current sales prices (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) .

Take it from me been there ,got hit exactly like your from a rav 4

Do not let insurance co. Touch your 914

When it comes to camrys corollas , accords
Insurance co. Are experts


When its a 914 , have it repaired by someone good . That YOU pick

If you have to pay outta your own pocket so be it before you let some ass hat from a (insurance approved body shop)touch it
(Biggest scam ever )

You described my feelings exactly. Mine isn't exactly in top condition, but everything is there and it works/runs. Whenever I take it out, I watch extra carefully. People are too busy with their phones to pay attention to that little sports car next to them...

Friggin idiots don't appreciate something nice. That is why I park away from other cars or double park ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ). Put too much time and money for some loser in a KIA that gives a crap about cars.

What is your insurance provider? Hope is Hagerty. If not, like the bro said make sure you go to your own repair shop that knows about fixing classic porsches, etc. insurance companies and modern repair shops do not deal with these types of cars.

Dammit! All the pieces of shit cars running around and she hits your 914.

Make sure to inspect your front turnsignal LED board is ok.

That SUCKS!!!!

But it's looks like a very small bump, relatively speaking. It's just one picture, but from what I see, that fender can be metalworked straight without any cutting, welding, or piles of bondo.

Also check if the lens housing isn't bent. Mine are both bent and I didn't see it when I bought the car. So maybe it would be a good idea for me to park my car where I expect it to be hit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
But in your case, I'm very sorry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

It is heart breaking to see something like that happen.

That is one of my big concerns when taking my car to run errands. You want to enjoy your car but you have to interact with people who just don't care enough anymore.

I use Motorcycle defensive rules applied to the 914 experience when I drive it.
