| You will not believe this we dont. This car was hit so hard it spun 180. The windshield did not crack and the doors close like it is brand new. Next week it is off to autobody to be straightened as much as possible so we can get measurements so we can cut the bad and weld on the new.  This should be over about 2 feet and cover the tire  The car drove onto the car trailer when we bought it . I can post pic's later when the easy up is down and better lighting. Chris just found a front clip we are just waiting for a price. This car just got out of the paint booth weeks before this happened and the PO is one of the most anal guys you have ever met. Spotless it was a heart breaker | |

| My Porsche has semi crumple zone in the front. That and a battering ram If you get hit in the rear the engine ends up in your back. | |
