A testament to German engineering. My buddy had an incident last night. Note that the wheel did actually fall off - you can see the sway bar in the pic. I saw the pieces at his house and the control arm is literally broken in half. He walked away and should be ok (fingers crossed). http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...-my-996-a.html -td

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

deployed. Impact on left front fender and continued on down side of car to driver's door skin. Considerable damage to front chassis hardpoints and front suspension/steering. Car totaled. (No settlement yet, damn insurance company can sure drag its feet when money's involved.) No injuries. First airbag deployment for me and my passenger. Seat belt pretensioners fired too. (Passenger side airbag destroys leather dash.) Anyhow, these are very good very safe cars. They bend/fold/crush where they have to in order to protect the occupants. I am looking very much forward to having a new replacement Cayman S in just a few weeks. Glad your friend walked away with just some minor injuries. Sincerely, Macster.
wow.... that is bad, glad he is OK
A very serious accident and luckily no casualties. Those 911's sure are sturdy little cars.
Whenever I see a story like this I am always amazed and somewhat awestruck at the quality and engineering of our cars. The damage is substantial, but not what I would think after reading his description of the incident. Glad he is OK.
Compare this bmw 330 crash test to the chinese car crash test Watch BMW first: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7vPH_EqIws Now compare it to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5SRyG6UR2A Laughter is appropriate
I think we can all say that we're glad he was in a PORSCHE for this accident!
whoa....that's gnarly. super glad the dude is ok. hope the saturn owners gets "slapped on the wrist"

These days I wouldn't even buy dog food from the Chinese, much less a car.
we had a Porsche submarine in Seattle this week Link

Made me think of this
^^^ wow, the speeding driver was in his 50's.
Those pics make my stomach turn, but hey he walked away and that's all that matters. Make sure he really gets himself thoroughly checked out, 60 mph crashes always have some impact on muscle and bone even if you don't immediately realize it.
