Where in NY are you? I am in Westchester and could not imagine having the Turbo out yesterday. Sorry to hear, you will get it back as good as new. Glad you are ok as well.

 

yah, i'm in scarsdale, had my 4S out 1am yesterday... wasn't too much snow then.. just kindof icy... i crashed in the bronx coming back =(

they are coming to tow the car tomorrow from my driveway!

 

......ouchhh, time for a new one

 

talk about strange... i drove by the same place today and i realized there isn't any curb at the turn... wth did i hit?!?!

is it possible that i hit something hard hidden in the snow that night??

 

Yup. You never know what it could be if you didn't see it that night. You could have hit something dropped by a semi, previous accident, ice block, etc.

 

arghhhhh... must have been something really really really hard

 

Hope everything goes well if you are going through insurance. If not, always a good thing to upgrade .

My guess is something may have been frozen in there, and you bumped, and it took the car the "right way" and the rest happend.

Any pot holes in the area where it happend?

 

anybody have a set of 18" HREs for sale??? i need to replace the broken techarts =P

 

Jason,

That really sucks. I'm just glad you're okay, man.

 

UPDATED: my car is still in the shop. it's been 2 months now! does it normally take this long to fix a p-car? the wait to get her back is absolutely killing me!!!!!

 

I totaled my C2 a few years back and I forced them into it, nationwide didn't want to total it because it costs them too much, if your car is still in the shop, you have put the pressure on them to get the car out or just give you a check. You definetly should get some compensation for loss of time. From your pics, I don't see 2 months worth of damage, at least your ok, good luck

 

Jason,

In 1990 my RUF 930 turbo was hit in the front. i took one year to get the repair done. the slope nose fenders and RUF (speed-line) wheels had to be ordered from Germany and that took 9 months. If my 997 ever gets hit, the only shop and person the will fix it is Ron. I saw your C4s and it was badly damaged. With any custom parts you are at the mercy of the vendor. Ron has no control over the time it takes to get bumpers or wheels. Hang in there you have the best person working on your Porsche.

 

A friend of mine crashed his dad's E500 into a wall, visibly not much damage except hood, one fender, one headlight, bumper, etc...but the jolt gave it some frame damage. He sent it to one of the best shops around, took I think 4-6 months (cant remember exactly) and ~$25k. It looks immaculate now. Give it time, it will be good as new.

 

that really sux glad you're all right

techart wheels are cast and heavy - why people buy them i don't know

 

why do you post under 996Turbo / GT2 when it is just a 996 with a wing?
