Suggestion
Remember Porsche requires a Porsche to be considered properly repaired -- and you should insist on this and not settle for anything less -- is that the body/paint work must be done by Porsche Approved Collision Center, and there are specific steps it must follow to ensure the car is repairable and if so repaired properly.

Suggestion
So easy for us to tell you to get over it, but when it's 'your' Porsche, things are a little different.Take your time, follow the good advice and don't let any insurance company tell you what to do, remember, they are trying to cap any repair work that will ultimately save them $.

(Salvage or after market or used parts for these cars are often priced as nearly as high as factory parts and in the few times I've been faced with one of my cars having a non-factory part installed the salvage/after market or used parts their condition was terrible so terrible in fact that even the insurance company adjuster admitted they should not could not be used and factory parts were ordered and used.)

Suggestion
To start out with the car will have to be partially torn down -- front/rear bumper covers removed and the running gear (wheels/tires mainly) removed, and the car then accurately placed on a Celette Bench and the chassis, suspension, drivetrain, steering, and body hard points checked -- using Celette supplied jigs/fixtures for the specific Porsche model and year (Porsche uses Celette bench and jigs/fixtures for its car assembly at the factory) for any out of position condition.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I just crashed my 996. It's bad. I'm ok but my car is ****ed.
I thought I was immune. I'm changing my avatar. I will be known as Icuras because I never want to forget how crushed I am right now. I was lucky to have lived but alas my wings have fallen off.
Thank you for the words of support. Pray for my beautiful car.
Going through four lane intersection after a stop. Guy in a Beemer smashed into me. Him ok too thank god.
No brakes by either of us. But my god did it take a wack. I'm worried most about frame damage with the front door sill being the point of impact.
Sounds like you are ok.......now for the bright side. Assuming you have insurance....I say a nice check is coming your way if it is totaled. The last guy that totaled a car ended up with a TT. Best of luck on this one.
looks like he T-boned you?
was there fault assessed or assumed?
Glad all ok...I see it's not a joke....
you might find some injury appears later, keep a watch for stiffness and dont hesitate to get early treatment if needed
Glad all are ok. Car took a pretty good hit. With that big of an impact and on the side odds are high the car will be totaled.
Remember Porsche requires a Porsche to be considered properly repaired -- and you should insist on this and not settle for anything less -- is that the body/paint work must be done by Porsche Approved Collision Center, and there are specific steps it must follow to ensure the car is repairable and if so repaired properly.
Also, all parts must be ordered from PCNA and through an authorized dealer and all mechanical work must be done by a Porsche dealer tech.

If the body shop deems that the car can be pulled straight to within the very tight tolerances Porsche specifies then this is done. If this can't be done the car is deemed unsuitable for repair.
I know of one 911 (a 996 Turbo) that was hit, T-boned, in the driver's door by a Jeep. I do not know the speed of the Jeep but the Porsche driver suffered some injuries: broken ankle and some ribs, bruises, and such; and the car was totaled. The Jeep did not intrude too deep into the car's passenger cabin (or the driver of the Porsche would have been more seriously injured or even killed) but the type of impact is especially hard to repair.
Sincerely,
Macster.
I agree with Macster but after looking more at the pics I realize the tree is what caused all the damage to the passenger side?
it might not be so bad
but YES!!! to all the Porsche Approved Teck Talk, paint, parts and everything MUST be Porsche Approved!!!
Other car hit me in Pass. door jamb and pushed me into the stone wall.
I was sighted for failure to stop, but I did. I proceeded with less caution than I should have obviously. This is a very bizzare intersection right near my house. Every month someone gets it in just the same place. The sightlines are all f-ed up.
Some people might see this statement as heresy, but it's still just a car. You've got insurance on it. Had you injured yourself or someone you love (or even the driver of the other car) it would be a much bigger burden to carry.
You'll have lots of other Porsches - not a big deal in the whole scheme of things.
Thanks for good info Macster.
Thank you No injuries = blessing.
You guys have been great in helping me through this. My freinds can't really understand my loss. I know. I'm being melodramatic but that's just the way I feel about it. Not deppression but very bitter dissapointment in the whole situation. I believe my car was special. It had a goodness and a strenth that went very deep. I miss it like mad.
No airbag deploy.

Hope it all works out for you in the end.
Buddy sorry to hear and see pics of your car. I remember when you first got her and we commented on the likeness of ours. Guess we can tell them apart now but not in a good way. Glad your okay and hope you get either a new one or get her fixed up like new soon.
Glad to hear you are ok. Although you thought your car was special, there are plenty out there you can use as a replacement.
I do hope they total your car. I would hate to drive around in a car that was repaired to Porsche specs but, never "feels" quite the same.
Keep on top of the insurance company. Don't let the fact that it was deemed your fault deter you from getting a proper replacement. You pay an insurance premium, make them work for you.... because they do.
