Marc Smith Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) on the way to work yesterday. i was cruising in the left hand lane doing 50 in a 45 zone. i was approaching slower traffic in the right lane when the 911 comes zipping up on my right hand side puts his turn signal on and starts to come over. I tap the horn, he continues to come over. I edge left and but stay on road so I don't go into the ditch and ease off the gas. he continues to come over. and I apply the brakes he ended up in the high sided in the ditch...I've got some minor fender and bumper damage.

plus 3 golfer Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Too bad it happened. Has fault been determined (police show up and write up a report). If not, I'd delete your post / description of the accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Smith Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I had no options... and the above description is what I gave my insurance company, which also happens to be his insurance company, no either way they are on the hook. Police came and did an exchange of info. not sure if the guy got a ticket or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian_L Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I sounds like he will be 100% at fault. Having said that (and only based on what you wrote)---I see a hi-performance car rushing up beside me in the slow lane and I am in the fast lane---I'm backing off the gas pedal and letting the moron go through. This collision "appears" to have been preventable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Smith Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 In theory every collision/accident is preventable. Not sure whats more gut wrenching, the damage to my vehicle, or that fact that a cherry classic 911 Porsche got wrinkled. ptjones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Police came and did an exchange of info. not sure if the guy got a ticket or not. Depends on the state, NO ticket in TX if the officer doesn't think any laws were broken, doesn't witness the accident, etc. I sounds like he will be 100% at fault.

This collision "appears" to have been preventable. $35K+ car built in 1982 I'm thinking the 911 called his lawyer ("morning Tom someone just hit my 911 in the rear") before his insurance co.Going to be interesting to see who fixes whose car.

stevedebi Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Funny, when I saw the thread title I wondered if the OP was considering between these two cars to buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian_L Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 There was a time when I would have almost given a body part for a 911SC. Now, unfortunately---I`d just be another guy pushing 50, with a mid-life crisis car :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Smith Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 well got the cmax back form the body shop. it was down for a week. My rental car was a Chrysler 300, While having a big car is nice. I really enjoyed the fact I could point my right big toe to the ground and the car would jump. but parking was a PITA, and 20mpg sucked.

Clearly the C-Max is the winner here. No comparison at all! We were talking about fuel economy, weren't we? :dancing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice car but I am kind of a big guy and I have a hard time getting in and out of this with the low roof. I tried a few times but now we just take the C-Max if we go out with them somewhere. ptjones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptjones Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Sorry to hear about your accident and glad you are OK. Did they do a good job fixing your CMAX? Probably the first one they have seen.LOL :) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
