My buddy's 997 GT3 in a ditch
 
My poor neighbor just got this GT3. He hit a slick spot yesterday going 70mph, hit the wall and went under a flat bed 18 wheeler. He's ok. Man that car was awesome. I've been drooling over it lately.

Oh man, that sucks. Glad he's ok. Car can be replaced, that's what insurance is for.

Griffon345 Jun 30, 2010 11:09 PM

Ouch! Glad he's fine. Looks like cosmetic mostly, except for the front left suspension?

Mini George Jun 30, 2010 11:17 PM

Luckily he wasn't hurt. That would suck to have happen though!

I am glad he is okay. A slick spot? Are those cars that twitchy or was their other circumstances? I am kinda shocked that the car would want to become unstable at 70MPH on a slick spot unless their we other factors.

It'll buff out.

Glad he's ok.

It had just rain heavily. He hydroplaned I'm assuming.

Okay, that makes sense.
