Hey There Enrique, sorry to hear about this. I was looking forward to seeing you at the track. As many others have said, it looks like it could have been much worse. It's a temporary setback.
Take Care,
Cyrus

Hey guys, update:
Well the car is at Mathews Carlsen Body Works
Brian recommended that i take my car to him. He said the car dosen't look totalled, the frame dosen't seem damage and it seems like the suspension took the whole hit. I guess thats good...he said he doubts the car will be tottalled and he assures me if the car is fixed it would look as if nothing had ever happen to it.
So far it seems like the car is going to get fixed. So i have been thinking of getting a few cosmetic upgrades
GT2 bumper
GT2 lip in carbon fiber
What other upgrades can i do to the front end ?
I was thinking if they have to replace the suspension system in the front, i might get MOTONS. Hm any ideas?

Look into the issue of "Diminished Value"... it is important with these cars.
Lets say there are two identical cars- both 01 996TTs, same miles, same color. But one of them you tell the buyer "it was in a crash and cost $15,000 to fix". The car without a HISTORY will demand the higher price.
Your insurance company will say "we don't pay dimished value"... the other insurance will say the same thing. F-em, if you suffer a loss in value for whatever reason the guy who hit you is liable.
Food for thought- if nothing else it will make them more willing to go high on their calculations.
Bummer- hope it works out ok.

Sorry for that. Yikes.
Hopefully the kids are losing a little sleep over it too. I even feel bad about Markski's door ding...you just feel violated, and the repair is always a pain. That wheel out place is like looking at an athlete with a broken leg.
