Wow, that truly sucks !

That loaner is a nice gesture on their part but a Box in Chicago in February sounds like automotive frustration. They should let you take your pick of the freakin cars on their lot after that mishap. I'd push for Cayman/911, although a Cayenne might be most practical.

bigislandboxster, sorry to hear about the problem. That really sucks!

How did you pay for the repair in Hawaii? Possibly you can call your cedit card company, and have them reverse the charges. Get a letter from the dealer here for back-up with the credit card company stating poor workmanship from the Hawaii dealer.

Hope everything gets worked out well and quickly.

I know all about rear end collision's...shoot me a message if you any questions. I just went through it all. Sorry for the accident...I grew up in IL...not sure what that contributes to the conversation, but you can use that as trivia at your next party.

5 years ago I had an Infiniti and while stopped at a red light a women rear ended me while she was talking on a cell phone, not fast, 15 mph.

Fast forward 4 years, at the same damm red light within the exact hour of the day of the last incident, a woman rear ends my Boxster while talking on a cell phone

Not fast, maybe 8 mph this time. I got out, walked to the passengers side of the truck she was driving (her boyfriend in the passengers seat thought I was going to whip some ass), he rolled the window down and a big harry arm (mine) reached in and opened the glove box and grabbed the insurance proof form. I immediatly took the form back to my Porsche and called the Police!

bigislandboxster you were lucky, the women that smacked me, her cheap ass insurance tried to give me a Dodge Neon!!!

I said just give me the rental car money instead

Next time, before you leave - make a monument to your car with the coral graffiti off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy

Sorry to hear about your car...

As much as I am a libertarian at heart, I am getting to where I would support a ban on cell phones in cars.

Some BROAD (I use this term sparingly) almost hit me yesterday. On the cell phone and fixing her hair (in her SUV of course).

This left HOW MANY HANDS for the steering wheel???????????????????

Aye Carumba!

Moving has been a little tough, but then this happened.....Nothing like a little extra drama in my life :ah: .....

Talked to the police who cited her and my insurance company, shes going to take care of everything, costs to fix and rental car as well.....She admitted blame at the scene, dealerships on my side as well as the police, so she knows she doesn't have a case at all. Most of this should be sorted out Monday....

Weathers been relatively good here, well, for February anyway .....

The officer at the scene said she admitted to monkeying with her OnStar program when this happened.....She was from North of the city and was trying to find the Oakbrook mall.....

Should know more this Monday, gonna try and get a shot of the damage then as well.....

Heres the info I got from the other partys insurance.....Looks like they have it covered pretty well.........

Hi,

Read your Estimate... a couple things to consider. Make sure they spec OEM Paint, it's not so marked on the Est. Also, be sure they go for a 4-wheel alignment!!! Unibody Cars when struck can throw a wheel on the opposite corner out - you don't want a high speed vibration because of something they overlooked. Be very skeptical and realize that they want to Estimate the job at the minimun to reduce their exposure...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Thanks for the helpful advice MNBoxster! ....I'll check on the paint, tho it is being done by a place recommended by the Porsche dealer....and the alignment issue is very important as well...

Have a great one!
