Unhappy Expy vs. Carrera

Well, I pulled a bonehead and rear-ended a 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera today. I was pulling out into some fast moving traffic and had assumed the Porsche in front of me had already gone as I was craning my neck to watch traffic. I only hit the Porsche at maybe 5 MPH but it was pretty ugly. His rear lid, spoiler and bumper were demolished.

My Expy you might ask? Just a few scratches on my bumper with some red paint from the Porsche and my right tow hook is skewed.

It was all my fault and the owner was very nice even though I know he had to be pretty mad. I also received an Improper Acceleration ticket ($30 fine + $66 court costs).

Heck of a way to start Christmas Break with the kids.

I've never heard that one either. Usually you get "following too closely".
