Well, I didn’t make it there today. Slide off the road in the rain on my way to Bob’s.
Still trying to process this.

Well that just sucks. All passengers okay?

Was just me in the car. No one hurt thank goodness.

Oh no Michael!!!!!

I feel bad for you man. Good thing is no one was hurt, bad thing your beauty got injured. 2 more good things though, well 1 good and 1 helps feel not as bad. Your car had been in an accident before with Chris so it can overcome this ding. Plus, now you have an excuse to get flares

Sorry to see your mishap Mike. Judging by the amount of trees it looks like it could have been way worse. Glad you’re ok. Tis but a scratch

That totally sucks, Mike. So sorry

Wow sorry to see that.
Was it still drivable?

Over the years I had a couple misshap like that. Mine looked worse.

That just sux! Sorry to see that happened. Glad you’re ok. I’m sure you’re totally pissed. I would be, Thing is, It’s only metal. You’ll make it whole again.
Hang in there!

Oh man that sucks must have been the day yesterday. I was not in my 914 but my truck got rear ended , frame bent , probably totaled Click to view attachment

Thanks everyone for the words of encouragment. I'm past the emotions of the situation and I'm focused on getting my car repaired and back on the road this summer. The damage is mainly to the passager front quarter panel and suspension. The A Arm broke at the base of the strut and the strut came free. The rear bumper was also hit and shifted about 4-6" towards the driver side. There is some body damage there too which is the same place I repaired when I bought the car from Chris's crash. The truck/hood/doors/headlights all function normally and still look well aligned. The police towed the car to the closest shop and now I need to get the car to a shop experienced with our cars. Wish me luck.

Ben, sorry to see your truck was hit. I hope you're taken care of. My wife's SUV was hit while parked last month and we just got it back but their insurance was good and easy to work with. I hope you have the same experience.

I hope everyone had fun yesterday at Bob's and Air Cooled Racing. Share any pictures you took. Also if anyone took pictures at Carlisle today I'd like to see the turn out this year.

Dam. Yep roads were slippery. I got out of my truck on my way to Bob’s house after checking in at fairgrounds to see if my table slid out of the back. When I walked around the truck my one foot slid on the blacktop.

You’ll be back on the road before you know it.

Michael, I am very sorry to see that. I am glad you were not hurt. Hope to see you soon. John

So sorry this happened Michael...but glad nobody was hurt. Aircooled Racing will have you back on the road soon.

It's always a great time hanging out with my 914 brothers & sisters, even if the weather doesn't cooperate.

A big thanks to Steve Limbert for having us over for a shop tour Friday afternoon.

Dinner was a blast. Derek from Sweger Restorations put together a "name this 914 hardware" game. When the dust settled, Clay emerged victorious. Howard, Tony & Matt battled it out in "sudden death" for 2nd place. After several hard fought rounds, Howard took 2nd.

Congrats to our winners! Thanks to Derek for setting this up.

I hope to see everyone at the Northeast Gathering.

Very cool Bob and thanks for setting it up, it was a shame I missed it.
