I got rear ended do you think my car is fixable



Ok so it isn't my car, but wow. The guy walked out of the hospital the same day and took photos of the carnage that next. Here is a link to the thread.

Accident Thread

Got sandwiched between two 18 wheelers. I hate those things and think they should be restricted to certain lanes especially in construction zones.

As a general rule of thumb: If you have trouble identifying the make/model (or that it was indeed a car), the skills needed to re-assemble are beyond that of most body shops. Plus the seat would need to be cleaned.

Doesn't matter, they are four bolts pattern so I doubt if they will fit a 911 with out an adapter.

WRX's use a 5 bolt pattern (I forget the spacing however)

Don't think anyone said use them on a Porsche anyway. Just amazed the owner of the car lived. and live with just minor scratches and bruises

Nasty, nasty accident.

WRXs use a 5x112mm, I believe.
