Wanna See Scary Pictures . . .

I happened across this collection of crashed car pictures, mostly Porsches and mostly at PCA races and track days. If I am reading the captions right, no-one was killed in any of the accidents.

Scroll to the very bottom for the 993TT bisected by a tree. Yikes!

So, more impetus for my research into a roll cage.

and he walked away too, un-****ing-believable. This is why people pay as much as they do for a Porsche, because God forbid **** starts to happen at least you have a CHANCE of walking away. I have a feeling if he was in a Supra or 3000GT he woulda been dead on impact.

Good thing I didn't see this thread before my first DE event last weekend.

I'm going to hold off on breakfast for awhile until my stomach settles back down.

Good to hear everyone came out OK.

I just heard my car in the parking lot outside my office door scream. Had to let her know it was ok.
