This is a stupid question, but since the car looks totalled, can that engine be salvaged?

Hurts just looking at it...

There should be an "extra" license to be earned before you get to drive an exotic car.

I've had an older merc S class too, they were truely built to last and looked the part. Only problem was the AC failed quite often after 10+ years. Nothing else was an issue!

Sad to see the GT3 messed up, that has serious frame damage written all over it. Good thing no injuries. Looks like a write off

Ricers come with all wallet sizes. A poor ricer will put stickers on his Honda Civic, while a rich ricer will put stickers on his Porsche.

i think what he was going for was the track/racer look. you know....porsche's ties to racing. not ricer. if im going to spend that much on a car i want everybody to see me

i thought the rule of thumb for P-guys is to never drive in the rain because of the chances of hydroplaining and acid rain

The sticker scheme is how the GT3 cup was premiered. This however, is just a regular GT3

I have never owned one, but have NOTHING bad to say about them as a car....they are built like tanks like you said. I actually have an old co-worker who had over a million miles on one. But to call them a "true classic" IMO is

Driver is a friend of mine, and his car is mainly used only for Sunday drives and trackdays. As such, I guess he is allowed a little leeway because its not driven daily with this livery.

After all, look what I did to my RS!
