The automotive equivelent to a Death Certificate
Surely NOT what you want to see on your car...........unless you have plans for a dedicated track car.

R.I.P.
Stunt Road claims another victim. Could have been so much worse on the other side of the road... the important thing is that driver and passenger walked away.

The adjuster who did the evaluation was a porsche owner himself. Drives a 944 turbo. He was heartbroken to see this one go.

Is this the dark turbo that ran off the road on the New Years Day drive? Sad to see this happen...

Even though it's sad to see it happen there is a chance that there will be a happy ending in the form of a dedicated track car. Stay tuned..........

Not as heartbroken as I am, but the Black Phoenix may rise from the ashes.
Since the accident my wife and I have been over this a million times in our heads, she thinks I need a road car and a dedicated track car. Can't argue with that.

Kevin, she is a great lady she feels worse about this whole mess than I do. When I bought the car 4 years ago she arranged all the financing, she supported me when the engine needed rebuilding, and gives me any bonuses she gets to buy things for my car.
She is special. And yes she does have a sister.

I'd imagine a couple of the guys are booking passage to Stepford as we speak. You'll be getting PM's soon with requests for an introduction to the sis.
