wasn't there a fucking story about some guy fucking up his ferrari 4 minutes into the drive... fuck u board whores!

what's your point

And THAT is why I drive an SUV and I'm buying a full sized truck - the big behemoths always win when metal meets metal (or fiberglass) :winkwink:

poor Porshe.... :(

Whats the story behing your signature, and I would like to find out too. What's your point.

Post the link to the thread, if you could. I want to see this. :Graucho

You drive an SUV so you can rear end people? Seems a lot of people like you have that mentality. :321GFY

Uhh...uhh...:(

Doesnt look like 100G's of damage tho sorry.

I haven't been in an accident that was my fault in over 20 years. :thumbsup

I have, however, been in about 15 that other people caused. Ergo, I know what kind of vehicle I want to be riding in when there's an accident. :)

CGT Accident after 10 minutes of taking delivery

I was at Pioneer Center in San Diego getting my Cayenne S in for a recall inspection. Low and behold, a silver CGT in the service bay with the rear fender and engine cover all apart.

The story behind it is he just took delivery ($6K/month lease!) and was on his way to the gas station down the street to fill it up. Got rear ended by a big truck.

Damage estimates? The service manager says $200K!!! Guess with parts being as rare as the CGT, it costs that much? I would have hated to be the guy who rear ended the owner.

There's still more drama...Apparently, there's something about medical costs in there and also heard that the insurance company (either truck owner or CGT owner, it was not clear) may not cover the whole bill.

Hypothetical question...is it still the truck driver's fault if the CGT slammed his brakes (testing out PCCB for instance)?

Too bad I didn't have my Dig camera handy.

Side note...The service tech started the CGT to move it around the bay. The service manager who was with me told him to rev it up. Service tech said..."No can do, engine is still cold." What impressed me about this was he respects the car as it was his own. Most techs would not have cared and reved the hell out of it. CGT was so low that it needed special wooden ramps to get it on/off the lift.


This is the original post.

Later in the thread the actual cost of repairs was estimated to actually be closer to the 100g total.

:( sad thing to see.. fuck I wish I could afford one.

In GA, if you hit someone from behind, you are at fault. Period. The law says you have to stay at least 1 car length per 10 mph you're driving so they figure even if someone slams on their brakes, you should have been far enough behind them to stop. :(

i agree..it really doesn't look like it should be that much,however..it is a carbon fiber car with a sticker price of 460g..

well he's not gonna send it to maaco

That car is out of control.. OMG

Can't... Stop... Drooling...

That sucks!

Wow...sweet fucking car...how much are they?

480 grand for a car?
he must really have a small dick.
