...said noone ever.

Inability or unwillingness? ...or just ZFG?

What a total dickbag.

I guess that I'm not understanding where you're coming from on this. The carwash is already pretty clearly liable for property damages - it was their fault, and I presume that their insurance company will compensate this guy for his loss. Are you suggesting that the owner of that car be compensated beyond the value…

Culpability is culpability. Putting icing on that cake does not increase the amount of property damage done. Why should it increase the award beyond that of the actual damage done?

That is one of the awesomest videos that I've seen (and heard). I especially loved the clip of the 962 overtaking the modern Audi R8 LMP.

I feel you on wanting the RS America. They're supposed to be fantastic cars, and are my cup of tea as far as Porsche factory specials.

Obligatory.

Bertil Roos racing school - various locations in the mid-Atlantic area (they're based in Pocono, but have classes at VIR and NJMP, too).

Team O'Neill rally school in Franconia, NH. Car control. Master it. Break-down of the rally driving programs here.

Yeah, I'm not a lawyer either. I guess that anyone could sue anyone for anything. I just think that this mentality sucks. Get compensated for the loss and move on. Shit happens...but none of us are owed anything more than covering a loss just because someone has shitty hiring practices.

Setting aside that negligent hiring practices are not the grounds for a successful lawsuit - what would one get out of that lawsuit? There was no injury, just property damage. If the insurance company (or even the car wash) is willing to cover the cost of the property damage, what does negligence buy? Are you…

Good point. Just a few years ago, people were saying that these were the next 911's to explode in value...and I didn't believe them.

I dunno, I've seen those guys in Long Island City, and man - those guys can buff.

Sue the carwash for what? If the car wash is insured and the insurance company is compensating him fairly for the loss, what does involving lawyers get other than having to spend on legal fees or a percentage of the damage award?

Great article, Stef. The 964 RS America is a great car. However, IMO, they're not worth $80k. If the US received the 964 RS that the rest of the world got, sure. Otherwise, it's not really differentiated enough from their vanilla 964 brethren. If you want a 964 to track, get a 964 C2 and set it up for the track. …

Is the dent in the front fender optional, or does it come included in the $2,800 asking price.

I wonder if the überwagon is kind of a halo car. They're something built for geeks and auto journalists to drool over, and never sold in sufficient numbers to make a profit. I make no claims about understanding the auto business, but if manufacturers will sell supercars at a loss as a halo model, couldn't the same…

I'm not sure that he could get one with an automatic transmission to match the CTS-V wagon ;P

FWIW, if you dig into the Miata forums, there are a few things that can be done for people of your stature to make those cars work for you (mainly, getting rid of the stock seat and bolting a low-profile racing seat to the floor). Nothing off of the dealer lot will work so well, though.
