    Default Poreshe loses control smokes a light post!

    So I work at Calgary Honda! Approx. 7:30ish today May 28th....there's this Poreshe merging "Right" on the off ramp onto Anderson East from Macleod Trail North.

    Dude loses control.....slides sideways, smokes a light poll and into the ditch. Lucky for him he walked outta it unharmed! But for the Poreshe....not so lucky!

    If it were to hit a couple inches towards the middle of the car, then it would of been a different outcome!

    It's really sad to see such a beautiful 930 crashed like that.
    I like cars.

    Damn, that's a huge loss. Another one to the scrap yard. Glad the guy is OK though.

    LOL, is that guy in the suit a salesman? "Excuse me sir, looks like you could use a new car......"

    Too bad about the car, those older Porches are known for oversteer because of it's rear engine layout. Hope the guy is okay and that things work out for him.

    Calgary is so much like an iphone: iCalgary - There's a bylaw for that.

    I live in the area and see him driving that car often on the weekends, he pretty much drives it like a douche always giving it short bursts of acceleration everywhere.

    Really sad to see this one go as it was very nice, I just wish it could have been owned by someone who knows how to drive properly.

    Now this is a quality "spotted" thread. Good quality pictures, and even a map. Nice work OP.

    As far as the car ... ouch. That was a solid hit. It looked like a car that was well taken care of too.

    Well, until yesterday.

    EDIT: ^^ Just saw ET's post .. maybe it only LOOKED like it was well taken care of...

    At least no other car/person was involved. His own fault, his own damage.

    As for the car, really nice color imo and a shame really.

    I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if it was deliberate on Calgary Honda's side. If so, that's some excellent foresight.


    I still don't see how it happened. There was no bend in the road where he started going sideways. Looks pretty straight to me.
