Yeah, I didnt know how to drive it...
It has soooooo much power that I drifted the side into the front of another car on a 2 lane rural road going straight.

Any moron could have seen what happened. The other car was there as well, parked about 20 ft away. My car was behind it and around the corner to the upper left in the pic.

Pics of the other car.

Other car blew a stop sign and t-boned me at the intersection. I had no stop sign. That's it.

That sucks, evo. I hope the insurance company will do right by you. Sadly, I doubt it. Blue book won't come close to what that car was really worth.

My attorney doesnt want me saying much and I have probably already said too much but...

The outcome is looking good and once certain things get settled I will relate some details.

Update

Some folks have reached out inquiring about what it would cost to buy this back from the insurance company.
Lots of very low mile pristine parts.
I should know in a couple of days.

Well I inquired on what the buy back price on the wrecked Boxster and they told me like 4700 bucks.
If I had the space Im sure I could make money off that, a 12500 mile car.. Heck the tires and rims are perfect. 3 of them anyway.
If anyone is interested in the car for parts let me know.

I might sell the hard top separate.


So here's what happened with the ins co...
They tried to get me to take 13500.
I said no way. I sent them 3 comps but there really weren't any comps as far as miles/condition etc...I told them just work off the bill of sale I just bought it a few weeks ago....
Nope.
He said he's calling in a 3rd party appraiser since there really were not any direct comps.
I figured they were looking to screw me.

The appraisal came in 6700 dollars more than I paid for it.

I took that money and bought a very low mile clean 2001 Boxster S.
TBC

Excellent outcome for a very unfortunate situation. The important thing is that you were not hurt either physically or financially. Hope you enjoy many miles and smiles with your new car.
