Artistic Autobody in Portland,OR?
Bad news for me. Went to run an errand and took the 911 since it's sunny out.
Anyway, this lady runs a red light as I am turning right into the lane she is speeding through. I stop in time, but the lady behind me isn't watching me and doesn't stop and rear ends me. I am bummed and my back and neck hurts. Anyway, has anyone had work done by Artistic Autobody in Portland (Tigard), OR? Anyway, since the engine lid is crunched, who sells nice duck tail/lid combos ? Maybe I should have that done. Thanks

The 964 tails have an integrated wing in them, but its motorized, so you can still get the classic tailless 911 shape, and still get some "downforce" at speed.(really less lift I belive)

That sucks, my condolences.
You're gonna have the neck & back checked out, right? Cars can be fixed...

I agree with Icemaster. I didn't get a full checkup after a t-bone and only later discovered a rotator cuff injury that took a long time and a fair amount of therapy to heal -- and I ended up paying for all of it.
BTW, I have a near-new ducktail from TRE that I have only test-mounted and I'm not going to use. I also have some Carrera flares... PM me if interested in either or both.

Trying to remember the name of a body/paint shop in Portland that a friend used...Roth & Miller? Damn, I could be wrong, I'll send him a link. He thinks highly of the results...

Bump. Just got an email from my friend. Roth & Miller it is. Check your phone book. They did a great job on his '73...(edit) if you go there, ask for Dave Rosenthal.

I also had some bodywork done (albeit on my wife's Acura) at a place called Lucky Auto Body, I think. They did flawless work. Lucky's just down the road from Sunset Porsche.

Could have been worse.....glad you are ok. I too have had the little car out this week since it's been dry here in PDX. Check out the OR PCA website for autobody suggestions, but I would call the guys at MSI and see what Wayne and Win suggest.....they seem to know it all.
