So if I'm reading this right, you had a Vantage totaled on account of an accident where you were running summer tires in winter. And it looks like you're now running summer tires in winter on the 992?

That was my take as well, but if there is more to the story, he would be foolish to discuss it here - for insurance if nothing else.

Actually I had to drive it into a subdivision and get off the road,. That made most of the damage I believe. Driving on that rim for about 50 yards. It happened so quick. Also I just took the car out due to better weather.

I dunno. Swerve to the right to avoid an animal, right front contacts un-seen curb, breaks control arm, right front wheel slides back into fender causing fender damage? 50 yards of driving on it makes it worse?

That tire is way past worn out. No wonder you’re smacking curbs.

DC911S

If the tub and/or the shock tower is bent or cracked. They might just total it. This looks a bit similar to the damage done (bent wheel and ripped out suspension) to the GT3 that was totaled by the insurance company that Matt Armstrong bought from Copart and fixed. Lots of labor and time to remove and replace the tub and shock tower. They won’t know till they take it all apart.,

Let us know what happens with your insurance and if they drop you.

You mean “When”

Drew46

Yes. But at 20mph?

Mvagusta

I hated riding that rim, that long. I really felt bad.

Mvagusta

whatever it was, I was going around a Michigan roundabout maybe tops 35 mph. unfortunately bad experience, I will be taking them at 15 mph going forward

Mvagusta

Mistake --Aston bad , Mistake 2 was excited to see a good weather day in Michigan and took it out that day.

Mvagusta

Not worried,

Mvagusta

Explain/? Please

While most people have a false sense of what speed they hit something at due to not realizing how much they decelerate before they hit it (someone saying oh I hit a deer on the highway at 70mph doesn't realize that tehy probably slowed down by a huge amount before they actually hit it; same with rear ending someone, etc), doing that kind of damage at 20mph does seem a bit low for the amount of damage unless it was a mostly side impact on the suspension.
