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.:eek:

The wheels might be ok.

Actually one of the wheels was badly chewed up.

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. :eek:

WRXs use a 5x112mm, I believe.
