She is ALSO wrecked...

The damage isn't too bad... mostly cosmetic from my initial inspection. I was the only person involved. I hit a Yeild sign (irony) and what I presume is a valet stand. The sound this accident caused was horrific, and drew a decent crowd at almost midnight. I'm not a drinker, but was given a sobriety test.

Hey Jeph, why was PSM turned off?

I love it when you post those flattering pictures of me. I've lost weight since then... so my smile is even wider. I'll have to find a picture of that for you.

It was my traction control, not PSM. I often turn it off because I feel more comfortable with a yellow light on on my dash. That way when the check engine light comes on, I can assume it's traction control and ignore it... -kidding of course.

I turn it off every now and then for kicks. I've learned the hard way that I will reserve that for the track only.

So, the positives from this situation:

1. Learning a valuable traction control lesson
2. Possible new front end...

Forgive this flawed photoshop job. It's actually the back of my car on an 02 Carerra front (psshh, with a front plate?). Oh, and it's lowered in this rendition.




What do you guys think?

I'd do it in a minute. In fact, if mine gets balled up, that's exactly what I'll do.

Jeph:

1) Looks good...do it!

2) PSM- Porsche Stability Management...equals... as you say Traction Control!!

3) Post a new picture of your mugg!
