993 911 is infamous around these parts
Why would you suggest he take a HUGE downgrade and go from the top of the line Porsche and downgrade to a Mitsubishi? Even if he was at fault for the wrecks he shouldn't change his taste in cars.

I say get another and drive more defensively. The jackass running the redlight was far from avoidable though.

<HR style="COLOR: #d1d1e1" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->I got a new 997 tt on friday its black on black...basically i flew over a ramp and crashed my front into a big dip...i messed up my radiator and suspension...i also crashed into a big pole on my side door. The insurance company was able to pay for the full amount, so i ended up getting a new one.

By the way i would like to post pictures but there seems to be a problem for me to post it, so maybe u guys can teach me how to post the pictures.

They say this kind of thing happens in 3's.

I'd go out and buy a 1990 Ford Escort for $50 and drive it into brick wall.

Then go get another 997TT

If you had 2 accidents that weren't your fault, would you ask a forum what you should buy?

Because sharing your mishap with other enthusiasts and getting others opinions is a complete waste of time
