Why you ask?

I was just giving you a hard time after your post.

Michael

I've been to that Dealership...they have A LOT of cars! Lots of hot cars. They make lots of money so, one Porsche is likely not a big deal to them, especially, if the salesman was related to the guy that owns the store. Maybe ???

Chris Streit bought his 4-Runner from them.

easily done sometimes, especially after I've spent the day painting. Maybe I need a new respirator

2 words... HA HA

It happened. Talked to another local about it. Place is about 7 miles from my house.

As Souk mentioned, bought my truck from them. They are rumored to fix up damaged exotics and sell them... Yeah, but the 4-runner was a trade in and you can be DAMN sure we did a full PPI on it.

It's funny, I know a guy who bought a silver GT-2 from them, hope he didn't take it there for service, har har...

Pictures are real!
 

Car was out of IRA Porsche north of Boston.

look closely at the last picture. It's the latest in "onboard fire suppresion". Now thats carnage for you.

An interesting note!

Looks like the firemen dropped the car onto the hydrant. How? In one shot the car has a smashed but intact roof, in the next, the fire hydrant s piercing the roof!

Vindictive construction workers!

Chris, there's definitely a hole in the roof in the second shot.

It looks like the fire plug pierced the roof right above the drivers seat. I wonder if the idiot knew how close he came to getting killed?

must 'ave been driving pretty fast to flip a car over a curb !

and that suspension must be seriously tough :

i once clipped a curb when i skidded over an oil spillage :rolleyes: in my mothers lowered saab 93 SE doing about 40 mph... the only thing that happened was the wheel snapped off ( i was steering right, the curb was 25 to 30 cm high and wheel hit curb parallel )

was able to drive home like shumi got to the pits during the belgian GP of 2002.... 3 wheels is all you need if your suspension is set for the track :D

I dunno...those new pics look photochopped to me.

;)

Chris, I think you are looking at the pictures in the wrong sequence. The car landed on its roof ( the hydrant stabbing the metal :eek: ) There are quite a few pics of it in this position. If you look closely at the one photo of the car on its side, you can see a cable stretched from the car to the upper right side of the picture. I assume this is the cable from a wrecker's winch- tipping the car back over.

I bet that was a horrible sound of the windows popping, and the roof collapsing and being punctured ... all at the same time. :eek:

That street (Ogden) is a terribly busy street, the driver must have been weaving in and out of traffic to get any speed...idiot!

The "hydrant through the roof" shot clearly shows the damage to both driver's side rims indicating a square hit of that side into the curb, causing the roll-over. This is why race tracks don't have curbs, even the lowest race car will barrel-roll when the bottom part stops suddenly.

We've all made our youthful mistakes, but whomever tossed the GT-2 keys to a 19 yr. old should have his nuts braided. No responsible dealer even allows test drives of cars like that; what's the purpose? To see "what it will do/test the performance"? :confused:

It's a miracle that no innocents were killed. Or that the fool didn't drown in the car. ;)

I see the hole now. Looks like it's right over the drivers head... :eek:

I recalled the photo, saw it again when putting the newspapers out for recycling.

I like to imagine that Robbie was telling the flatbed operator to be careful...
