R.I.P '91 964, may the parts be used to build a bad-@$$ R-Gruppe

short story, curb jumped out, didn't hit the optional "curb avoidance" button fast enough

tweaked enough that the windshield pops out when you close the doors.....

Should be hitting the So-Cal wrecker auction pretty soon, just signed off the paperwork to release the car to the insurance company a few days ago...

not sure what will replace it, waiting for the job market to get better before jumping in and getting another toy...

before and after pic....

too late.....I could have bought it back for $5K, but I don't feel like parting out another car, let someone else deal with the headaches

With the wheels and engine alone, you should have been able to flip the whole car for more.

yes, i understand. it is a PITA. but you could have easily made in upwards of $10K after the buyback! I'm sure we'll see it out there soon enough!!
