Photos of my totaled 2001 Boxster S
Well, as promised, here are the pix from the accident. Both my son and I suffered concussions and whiplash. Thankfully, we are both OK, although I must admit that 50 and maybe not as flexible as my 16 year old son has made the recovery a bit longer for me.

I am trying to find out where it went for salvage so if anyone wants parts off it, they can try to arrange to purchase them.
FYI, the motor has the IMS upgrade from LN Engineering / FlatSix Innovations, new clutch, Flywheel, spark plug tubes, X-50 oil pan upgrade.
It has factory sports seats that were not damaged.
Let me know if you are interested in any of the parts and I will try to find out the location (my guess is San Antonio, TX).

Glad to hear you and your son didn't have more severe injuries.
Were you in a convoy with the 987 & the Cayman?

Not too much to the story (although the back story could have made this more of an ordeal...).
We were at Boxstoberfest and on our way back to Fburg to relax after a great day of driving the back roads. The convoy was at a stop light and since I was playing sweeps I was the last one in line.
The gal in the truck was distracted and did not stop in time. You can see the results.
She had the bare minimum insurance, so it did not even cover my car...which sucks.
But we are OK and that is what really matters. The silver lining....I am getting a 2006 Cayman S (Silver with red interior, my favorite combo): CPO, new motor, Nav, sports seats, sports Chrono, a bunch of other misc options.
Going up to Omaha to pick it up this week. I will post pix!

Don't airbags only deploy when the sensors detect a 30+mph frontal collision?

After seeing this car in person at Boxstoberfest I can truly attest to what a beauty it was. Even though the car is gone I'm glad you guys are ok.
Good luck with the new car....can't wait to see pics!
