Note to self: Don't get T-boned in a 914
I was T-boned in my first 71 914 back in 1995. A lady ran a stop sign at no more than 30mph and it destroyed my car. It was an original paint rust free car and all of it on the passenger side was bent everywhere. The windshield popped out onto the hood, passenger rear quarter, door and front fender mashed in. The rear shock mounting point was pushed in/up and the passenger long was bent inward. I was unhurt luckily.
The only good news was that the insurance company paid out $6200 for the total loss - which in 1995 was top shelf money for a non show car 1.7l 914. I remember picking up the check, going to my bank and depositing it, then getting a cashier cheque for $6500 and going straight to buy a really nice 1966 911!
