Are any of the wheels salvageable? They'd look good on your car.

Looks like i am taking those, I might take the S brakes if they fit my 97 boxster but not sure they would fit.

It looks like a great opportunity for an engine swap!

Seats too!

All that stuff would be great but im sure the insurance company would freak out when they see the old seats to a 97 boxster and a old 2.5 liter engine in the bay LOL .. I dont wanna do nuts on this car LOL seats are awesome looking though!

I would think Porsche would have an interest in inspecting this car before repairs are made. If I were that lady i'd give Porsche a call maybe they would buy the wreck for a good price. The engineering feedback for a fairly new model could be worth more to them than the cost of the car itself.

I bet they wouldnt care, since they already crash test the models anyway. Looks like it handled the wreck pretty well... i bet the wheel flying off had to happen to probably keep something else more important from failing... like the chasis breaking and causing the cabin to rip wide open like a Enzo's engine bay ripping off the Passenger compartment..... I dont really know but im sure theres some logic to that happening.

Any description of the accident? Did she get hit by two cars?
