i wouldn't say bad luck. he said it himself that they were driving pretty fast. but at least everyone is okay and lets hope they learned a lesson that day!

EDIT***

Wow theres some lexus bashing in there. it burns my eyes! lol

is it true that German vehicles are crash tested at 100mph+ and japanese vehicles are crash tested at 65mph?

Haha that's easy. All three are irresponsible fawks that don't know how to drive.

The Porsche guy obviously drove the car beyond it's limits. He didn't hit another car, or change lanes improperly. He simply drove out of his limits as well and sent that car flying off the road.



Idiot. Pure wreckless driving. Just because it's a Porsche doesn't mean the driver knows how to control it.

IS crashed right after the 911. So I think its safe to assume it crashed for the same reason the 911 did.

911 + IS = Stupid.

you must read more

why would you purposely total an 01 carrera with 20k miles or a CLK with only 30k. There is no point. BTW i dont know if u guys are thinking this but the 3 accidents were 3 different crashes in the spam of a year. They didnt have anything to do with eachother. The porsche crashed driving way 2 fast against me and the is. The is crashed 4 months later when he did a lane change and some lady in a van slammed into him (his car wasnt totalled). And mine happened when some lady ran a stop sign. BTW: It doesnt seem like they are totalling the car but ill find out this week. In any case im not keeping it. If its not totalled im going to sell it as is and keep the money that the insurance company gives for repairs
