Oh it was pretty bad. I was there when he go back. Hydroplaned on the freeway in his truck, jack-knifed the trailer and whipped around, the straps broke and it launched the car *** end first right off the side of the freeway. Ripped off the whole rear end, damaged quite a bit of his engine, not to mention the body was destroyed, front to back. He told me the only reason it didn't flip and tumble is because of how low it was. If I remember right that widebody gives him an extra six inches in width, compared to how it used to be.

There is a silver one I've seen on 400 S. downtown SLC a few times. Parks in the covered parking across the street from the Wendy's between 200 and 300 W.

^^ funny thing about that too, I work just up the street from Garff downtown and haven't seen one X there on the lot. I bought my VIII there in 04 and they have done all my service so I'm there periodically. They must be selling them as soon as they get them.

That's a different wreck then I heard about. This one was in his NSX. He goosed the throttle or something (again second hand info) and hopped a curb? Minor stuff. Wrecking it like that on the highway would be scary.

That's about where mine got broken into at 2:30 in the afternoon In a covered parking garage... And last I was at Ken Garff they had 3, one inside, and two blended in in the very middle of all the cars. It didn't sound like they were selling that fast.

Joe's NSX is the hottest, when it catches fire, and he jumps out, and rips off his shirt, and runs around screaming "I'm on fire, I'm on fire!" True story too, maybe minus the whole "I'm on fire..." part.

Hey UT Evo, how are you liking the Carrera? My neighbors across the street each have one. One is the silver Carrera (prob similar to yours) the other is an 01 turbo (speed yellow). Both are hot cars.

I love it to death. I've always wanted a Porsche (since I was like 12, which was before I knew much of anything about cars), namely a Turbo, but for now I "settled" for the next best stepping stone. I had a guy in a 997 C4S be an ******* to me, I laughed and reminded myself that I could probably out drive him... I swear to God the Porsche owner stereotype is, for the most part, true. My uncle has a 2005 C4S convertible, and his friend has a 1999 C2 and they're both cool guys, but most of the owners I've met are *******s. I remember when I was turning 16 and my mom asked what I wanted and I said a car like Rich's (my uncle, he used to have an old 993 C2).

Not nearly as fast as the Evo though, but it does speed with a certain finesse, style, jois de vivre, etc while the Evo just kinda hammered through it.

I'll always be an Evo owner at heart though, someday I'd like to (depending on how the future goes) pick up a salvage title Evo for the track. And if I could've I would've kept my old one. Plus, like I said, almost all the Porsche owners are asshats, hence hanging out on EvoM still (Someone needs to sit down and tell them the car doesn't make the driver, the driver makes the car).



Riley, you left out the part you had told me of him sitting in his garage drinking Coronas just looking at the cars (if I remember your story right). I wonder what its like to have that kind of money...
