The following is the story on what happened on an early Friday morning drive on 221 before the Boxster lineup at the Meadowbrook.  I was so looking forward to having the car on display at the lineup, but I didn't want to miss the chance for a great drive that Friday morning with Jim LaPiana and Darryl McDonald in Darryl's 996 and Eric Sasser in his 03 S. 

     

Meeting up at the Chetola  for a 7 am drive on 221 Half way on the 221 drive, great fun so far A short stop at a great photo spot half way back Jim, Mike, Darryl and the cars

     

I was third in line.  Don't ask me why this happened

Thankfully two trees kept the car going to the bottom This could have been so much worse Now to figure out how to get the car out of here

     

A flat bed and tow truck were called out to extract the car

I was impressed with how much care was taken not to damage the car any more than it already was Looking things over after getting the back on the road

     

Ready to tow to where the flat bed was waiting

Once loaded the car will be taken to the dealer in Hickory Set up to load on the flat bed Steel channels from the tow truck under the front tires...

     

...to keep the nose from dragging

Great help from Charlie Whitlock at Paramount Porsche and his preferred body shop to get the car drivable Driven back to the Blowing Rock from Hickory

                                                       

Well, I guess the warranty won't help.  Mileage on the drive back to Florida

Considering all, including suspension damage, the car made it back ok Video

     

Getting the car fixed at Body Craft USA in Ft. Lauderdale
