GT3 Wreck

No good.



This occurred Friday afternoon, just down the street from my office. Read the sign in the background and you can guess exactly what happened (actually you don't even need to read the sign). The passenger snapped his forearm in half. No further explanation needed.

Looks to me like he is running excessive Neg camber in the rear.

A few bit for your SC... I'm sure you could squeek the engine in there, and maybe fit up the wheels - the list goes on.

How did he break his arm? Wonder if it was related to that side air bag.

Porsche Crest

Or maybe the passenger broke his forearm slapping the driver across the jaw ... after the initial impact???

That bright artifact at the top center of the picture is the car's soul drifting heavenward...

It's not confirmed but I heard the driver was a guy named Dietrich.

Seeing a wreck like that makes me sad. Sounds corny, I know. But to see an awesome vehicle like that destroyed always seems to bother me. Maybe its because I would have loved to drive that car before it was destroyed.

So do you know if its being parted out?
