Idiot in a Minivan yapping on the cell phone. He won't be eating turkey this thanksgiving when his insurance company gets the bill.

Sorry to hear that.

My wife got rear-ended a month or two ago by an SUV-driving soccer mom on her cell phone. The woman went crazy, swearing at the cops, her, and me. I actually ended up so entertained by the psycho woman that I wasn't even that mad about the damage. I just smiled as she got her ticket for following too closely.

Luckily, we were in the Accord and not the Boxster. The damage to the Accord was $750 for a new bumper cover and paint. In the Boxster, she would have slid up over the trunklid, and spent at least twice that!

Just make sure you take it to a good body shop -- ask your local Porsche dealer or PCA who they recommend.

One thing for sure is it will be perfect when it is fixed. If he wants to do the crime he will do the time. His insurance company and I already had a nice long phone call discussing the issue.

could we see a pic of the crash?

When I get home from work, I'll try to take a photo. It does not look like much, but we know all hits are more that skin deep. A friend crashed his Enzo, when ferrari fixes a crash everything is done in 3's first they replace the bent piece, then the piece that it is conneted to, and then the next piece inline, just to preserve the structurial intergety. I'm sure that the repairs on my boxster will grow as the discovery goes on. I'm sure his rates will go up

I'm ok, The idiot wanted to fight. I laughed at him and told him go back to his car and wait till the Police come. When the Patrolman arrived he talked to the idiot and I could tell by his face the idiot was trying to get his 5 minutes of fame. The patrolman was really cool and asked me if I wanted to have the idiot locked up. I told him that with the attitude that the idiot had he will be a active and repeat customer of the Grey bar Hotel. Finally they loaded up mister tuff guy in the patrol car and took him off to Gladitor School with the rest of the tuff guys.
