Porsche crash on Angeles Crest

Morning news says this 911 went over the edge and fell 400 feet before burning.

All 3 occupants walked away.

I saw that a short time ago. Talk about being stupid lucky. I heard the female occupant hiked up the 400 some foot hillside and happened upon a LAPD unit down the road.

CHP, actually. But what are the odds that they'd be there when needed? Maybe because it was 1:30 AM, the chances were better.

Sorry, I don't do cabs.
At least it wasn't a long hood, right?

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

Looks like it held together a little better than Tapout's F-Car. The Porsche doesn't have those extra expensive detachable seat rails...

I want all that weed that was in the trunk. Worth far more than the car at this point.

Say what you will about 996s but they're built like tanks. The body/chassis anyways.
