Think seriously about taking a "High School Drivers Education Class"....then get a nice 4 door big Lexus, Mercedes or BMW....Don't buy another Porsche...odds are you won't survive a 3rd serious accident....

Start buying up 996 Turbos! With your help we can reduce the number out there and increase the value of the remaining ones.

buy another then! as they say, third time's a charm. hopefully your luck will change with the third one and no one will crash into you.

Its good to hear that they weren't your fault... if that's the case, I would get another or use the opportunity to try something new... like the GT3?

Even the best driver in the world can't avoid all the idiots on streets today.

Best of luck

pking0317,

Always, look around when getting of a green light. So many people are passing red lights for granted without thinking of the misshapes they can cause.
I would also suggest that you buy yourself a Mitsubishi EVO VIII or IX. Modify it to around 500WHP. And make sure you do the Brake mods, suspension mods etc. As much need you might have to go fast, you will need to shave the speed off quickly as well. I am sure that it will be a blast to drive. You will enjoy it. If you need any Tuner info, regarding these cars, i might be able to help you with some tuners i worked with. Just drop me a PM.
Glad to know that you came out of those accidents in good health.
