Talk about a bad day :1orglaugh

Sweet fucking ride!

wow nice car

Never let your woman drive your car.

looks like he hit a pole

she hit a pole. the guys wife was driving.

1/2 millon USD for one of those puppies. It handles close enough like the Ferarri Enzo as well for that price.

Very cool car. I'd buy it dented up. !

He claims to have the only one in california, I smell bullshit. I'm pretty sure Jay Leno has one.

I have seen about 5 in miami beach so far, Two Yesterday parked outside the same club, both silver.

"cozmo8856: so did the guy who hit it sell his house yet?" :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

This is the real story behind that car.The final cost to repair it was over 150k!
And there are quite a few CGTS in California.
The man that wrote this is a member of the Porsche club that I am in.


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.

I don't know what sounds worse, a $200,000 dent or a $6,000 lease :1orglaugh

time for someone to take out a second mortgage.

a $6000 lease is insane. wtf was that guy thinking.

Fuck thats a shame :Oh crap

Jay has all the sweet ass rides

Damm i love that car maybe one day i will own one

I'm suprised no one has pointed out what a shitty parker Leno is :)

Nah, he just owns 3 private car spots. No more dings :winkwink:

There's a GT in central NJ at Ray Catena I took a look at. Not to buy, mind you, just curious. The GT3 would be more my speed if I ever decided to take that plunge, they had a nice one there.

ouch man

looks like she reversed into a pole...

Damn, same as my ride. Oh no wait a minute, mine has air suspension, so I can go as low as I want! Ha ha

Get a CPA. A lease may be smart for the guy.

My Ferrari is a lease.

jay has awesome cars

I would never lease a car like that or have payments on it. I would only buy a car like that if I had the cash and had everything paid off. I love cars but that is just crazy.

200k for repairs!? Thats idiotic, you can get someone to build you the bumper with carbon fiber and color match it for under 2k.

My wife drove it and got hit.

wow very sweet car ! :thumbsup
