You AIN'T EVEN gonna believe THIS one!

Thankfully, it was only a Boxster...

163 MPH? I don't know the scene of the accident, but how many cars can actually hit 163 mph on a surface street?

And the woman is still willing to bring future cars to the same shop for work?

Definately not a high speed hit - certainly not 163.

Maybe 63. He wouldn't have walked away @ 163.

Just shows you how stupid some people are, she's willing to still use the same shop, just because you have money doesn't mean you have brains, he deserves a slap for being an idiot and she deserves 2

If I recall the crash in Ocala that killed 5 teenagers they had estimated that the M5 was doing about 160 when it left the end of the runway. This is what 160+ looks like after a crash......I'll toss the BS flag on the guy's claim of 163mph.

I recall that guy on the M5 boards days before he parished asking how to make his hotruns hotter.
