    Bad

    This was one of the scariest things that's ever happened to me.  Longtime readers will recall that I was a passenger in this car when the driver wrecked it at Gateway Speedway in October of 2005SPF.

    I missed almost 6 months of work after this one, and the leg is still not %100.  However, I am thankful that Porsche build the crumple zones so well.  Note that the passenger cabin is more or less intact.

    This was most definitely bad.

    Yikes!

    My wife is German and we visit her family in Germany regularly. Imagine an autobahn filled with those things all doing 150 mph. It's sweaty palm city, because if you wreck, you really wreck. I guess the export versions maintain the safety features, thank God.

    It's so interesting to see everyone's interpretation of "bad". That wreck definitely qualifies as bad!
