August Update: Due to the horrendous Jasper Wildfire and highway 16 being closed, the 986 just got to the body shop on August 19th. Estimated repair time is 3-4 weeks. September Update - Body shop repairs completed. How did it turn out? Have a look: ua-cam.com/video/dwqr_0v14l0/v-deo.htmlsi=AGm_fWytrt825MQu
I'm glad you're OK, John. Very sorry to hear about Mia. And then there's the headache of dealing with even the best insurance company. Sometimes things just pile on in life. Hope calmer seas are on your horizon, mate
I’m so sorry to hear about your car and especially your puppy, I lost my little puppy of almost 15 years a couple months ago, still breaks my heart, 2024 has really sucked for me and my family, everything keeps breaking and worse I’m probably going to lose my 85 year old mom’s this year, I appreciate all you do John 😊❤️
Appreciate the comment and very sorry to hear about the recent loss of your 4-legged friend. They are special little personalities aren't they. Enjoy the time you have left with your mom; life can certainly be a challenge at times. Hang in there mate - we're all in this ride together.
Thank you for sharing this with us Mr .Salt. Let's put things into perspective. One, nobody ( human that is ) was hurt. Two,the damage is not too bad and it is good you will get her back for more memories down the road . Three, we are lucky we don't live in war zones with horrors we see every evening on the news.My mother in law turned 101 last week and was born and lived in Brittany, France where the Germans occupied the place during WW2. Listening to her stories, one realizes we ''complain'' a lot compared to what she endured . Stay courageous for Mia's passing. The pain will ease with time, you've been through worst. As a Montrealer, love your t-shirt ! Take care.
Thanks for sharing. I have tackled some jobs on my Boxster that I wouldn't attempted based on your videos. Losing a dog is like losing a family member in my house and I see that your family feels the same way. I appreciate your channel.
Appreciate the thoughts. Yep, regardless of having 4 legs, the are still family :) Three weeks to the day now & still catch myself thinking of the little furry one daily. Enjoy working on your Boxster. This one is still awaiting its date at the body shop. Booked for August 19th, say they will need it for 2-3 weeks.
Sorry to hear that. I still don't know how this one will turn out. It finally went to the body shop last week and is suppose to be there for two - three weeks.
I have no idea because I just put this video up 5 days ago. The soonest the body shop can get it in is August 19th and it's booked in for then. They say they will need it for 2 weeks. Every broken part I listed in video is being ordered and who knows if they will find more.

I hit a deer with my Q5, costed me 2K to fix, still looks like crap but it runs...

At least you only hit 1. I took out 5 deer 7 yrs ago with my new camaro. I have started my R2 build. Thanks for the insight
5!!! OMG. Hope you were ok. That must have been alot of damage - write-off?
What did they decide to replace/repair/paint? and how much?
