One of our local PCA members had a 924 he bought used when he went to law school. It was brown and he even called it the cockroach. It was still his daily driver. It was parked in his driveway close to the house. One night about 2:30 AM he heard "the cop knock" and looked out to see a sea of blue lights. The cops were there arresting a drunk that had driven through two hedges, and t-boned the 924, and pushed it into the street. It was a total. If the 924 had not stopped the drunk he likely would have hit the bedroom where his son slept.

He got a copy of the police report, and the drunk was of course driving his mom's car after many DUIs with no license. He wrote a letter to the insurance company on his letterhead and made it clear that the 924 was his beloved car and how his son cried when told it was gone. All true! The insurance company evidently looked up the price of a 944 Turbo, and not a 924. They made him an offer that was totally acceptable, and he took the money.

He did take his wife, daughter and son to the impound lot to retrieve his personal items from the car, and he took the shift knob and the steering wheel. They had a little memorial service and said goodby to the 924. The car went to the scales.

He replaced it with a 944 that became he new daily driver. Just last month his son turned 16 and he will start driving the 944. He knows just one ticket and the 944 is parked, and he is taking great care of it.
