So, Unfortunately I destroyed my beloved car. Total loss. It was a beautiful car that lasted me a whole year. Almost to the day.
I was driving in the rain on summer tires which I don't recommend, but wasn't really thinking about it. The car hydroplaned in the Broadway tunnel heading toward Pac Heights for those that know the area. From the damage you could see the shape of a big concrete pillar that stopped me at about 50mph. I wasn't hurt except for a bruise the size of a toaster on my right hip. It was caused by the seatbelt. Both airbags deployed on myself and a friend (he's fine) riding shotgun, Although they didn't really help much due to the side impact. It was good though to see firsthand how they work!
My insurance said the car would be more than 35,000 to fix, somewhere between 37,000 and 40,000, therefore a TL.
I do have a question for all of you.
What do you think my first offer will be from AAA?
I purchased for 55,000 at 34K miles. The car now has 46,054 miles.
1998 911 Carrera S.
RIP.
My mechanic may be doing the buy back.
In the process of finding a 993 turbo, low miles, either a '97 or '98.
