Flipped...........
That car is too valuable to not fix! It might take years to find all of the body parts but someone will do it!

Unfortunate accident. I'm hoping the driver and/or any passengers are okay. High speed is dangerous and should only be done by competent, seasoned drivers. Wet roads add another element of safety risk. Too many people these days are taking too many risks in Porsche's. Please be careful out there. Drive have fun, but arrive alive!

High speeds, inexperienced drivers, public roads, wet weather, extreme performance vehicle.... any combination there of, in any order does not often yield a good result.
Hope they were unhurt, hope they didn't involve anyone else in their thoughtlessness.

Fuglyest porsche ever made.
No great loss. Dated look which appears to have been more of a design study back in the 80's along with padded shoulders and big hair. A bit over engineered, fat ugly hips and a stance which just doesn't quite look right.

Newsflash....all old Porsche's are dated in one way or another. Timeless beauty is in eye of the beholder. May not be a great loss to you but I'm sure the owner of the vehicle doesn't feel the same way...

Banned but not out, yet..

Interesting article in that the fate of the driver is not mentioned. The car can be fixed.

Thought my comment would get some of you going. Get over it. This is what 914 advocates have had to put up with for forty years. But you must admit, if the 959 was so good why didn't it ever go into mass production. Even Porsche realised it was just too over the top. And that's not taking away from it achievements. It was just too 80's and just too expensive.
