You know, C.J., I was thinking the same thing but surmised I was wrong because the lawyers haven't jumped in.

A part that was under warranty failed, causing Rail to lose control and kiss a concrete barrier. Isn't Porsche on the hook for this? And if so, doesn't your neck hurt dude?

I'm sorry, Rail. The first thing I should have said is that I'm sorry for the loss of your Grandfather. Please accept my condolences.

Fellas,

Thanks for the thoughts and condolensces (sp?). I am not sure Porsche would be responsible for the control arm because quite honestly I think it was damaged in the first crash. The car has been excellent and I have had no problems. When I get a hold of the adjuster I will definately bring up that fact. Unfortunately, I will never be able to get rid of this car. Even though there has not been any structural damage, the car has now been in two accidents. The first involving the rear end (new exhaust and bumper) and the second involving the rear bumper and control arm.

I won't be able to post pics. I head off to the funeral tomorrow (Chicago) and then back down to South America for the next 3 weeks. Once again, thanks for all the support. I will let you know how the claim turns out.

JeffSquire: I actually flew tonight...not a good idea. Wasn't 100%. Night flight with a 22 kt crosswind 9 miles downwind of 7000 ft mountains. Not pleasant by any means. Getting bounced around in a 47,000lb airplane is not fun...moderate turb with forecasted severe.
