yea, that your comprehension sucks

 

Here's the whole story from the dealer where it happened:

"OK, this is what happened.

1) Technician ( a Great Guy, by the way ) taking drive for
PDI ( Pre Delivery Inspection ) He is the only guy allowed to do this particular duty with all GT's.

2) Brand new SOLD car, 16 miles, which is low compared to some other GTs which have more miles. My customer,and friend
Danny C. GT had exactly 50 miles on it at delivery. The cars
are only driven on the Leipzig test track by factory drivers. I've driven on the track, by the way. Unbelievable!!! The point is, the tires were very "Green".
It take a new tire about 200 miles to really get broken in.

3) It RAINED...

4) Technician claims somebody cut him off, and there was no
place to go. Atlantic Blvd west, just about to jump on the
ramp to I-95. Down here in Florida where there really is no place to enjoy our sports cars, we call this " Crushing "
the ramp. I Crush the Oakland-Park Blvd. I-95 ramp in my 997
almost every day. On a good day; 3rd gear red-line.

5) Black GT ends up in precarious position, over shallow
revine; with moderate damage to under carriage. Car will be repaired like new. We deliver another Black GT to anxious customer. He's happy.

6)Mayhem here, but that's the car business. Literally one hour later; first pictures on the web.

What can we learn from this ?

New GT's are a big time handfull with cold, new ,tires in the rain.
Porsche technicians, are not Porsche race drivers.

The internet has made the world an immediate news environment, and a much smaller place. It is truly amazing."

 

Just so you know, it was a tech driving it (he's standing next to the guy on the phone.) The skid marks are old overlapped skid marks from regular traffic. And yes it can downpour for 5 minutes and be dry as a bone on the road in less than 10 minutes while giving a sauna experience to anyone standing outside immediately after the rain stops. Trust me...this is all fact because we had to trade our CGT to Champion to give to the customer a black/black car he was expecting.

 

Oh man, I like how all of the people arguing that it couldn't have rained disappear now that we know that it actually had.

 

there was only one, and he's not so "brilliant"

 

The only thing I got from this post is: the techician claims he was cut off, but, the manager(?) contradicts him and said it was the rain that cause the accident.

But, he doesn't explain how the rain cause the accident?

I mean, you can't say by virtue of the car being in the rain would make it crash. So, what was the driver actually doing in the rain that caused him to crash?

 

Oh man, do you have an issue with reading?

Read #3. Then read #4.

 

I just found it hard to believe that the technician knowing the pavement was wet would still try to "crush" the on ramp in a cgt.

 

wait for the next opportunity t-boned...

you'll win next time...don't lose faith in yourself...i can do it...i can do it...

brilliant

 

oh my gawd somebody needs to crawl back into their hole

 

This is one heck of a story!

 

Damn, you don't quit, do you! I've never seen anyone dig a hole quite as deep as that one.

 

The weather was Sun, Thunderstorms and 86-90 degree's today.
I take that same ramp all the time and to get back into the Champion lot, you have to merge with the traffic that is exiting at high speed. I can see how this would happen.
