We took I5 when we drove down to Ultra's. Would have drove right under that.

Yep, fer sure. It's about the only way to go south from here. The other two ways are waaaaaay around .......

If the folks that are at work north of that wreck, and live in Olympia would be advised just to get a motel room for the night.

Another reason why i didn't want to buy another Porsche. I bought these little plastic covers that go on the pegs on the back of the targa top into the roll bar. You have to replace them every so often. Take a guess what they cost?

$22. Yes $22.


But that is A PIECE!

You're looking at $44 worth of Porsche parts.

That's a well-traveled area. Even Tcoat's driven under that bridge.

NTSB says it'll take up to two years to investigate? Bullshit. One look at the aerial pics of the carnage and it's obvious the engineer burned that corner hard. That's no 30 mph wreck.

Exactly how many Porsches do you have? For a nominal fee, I can relieve you of one of your very expensive problems.

Makes you wonder why humans are still allowed to control the speed of the train. Shouldn't everything be computer controlled so that the trains can't exceed a safe speed for any given corner/stretch of track?

Why are we still allowing completely preventable human error to kill innocent people in 2017 (almost 2018)?

100% agreed. I'm thoroughly disgusted by this.

Not disagreeing, but here's the reason.

Because that costs more money than you think it does and none of the 20 parties involved want to pay for it.

I've owned 3, kept the one I have the most emotional attachment to that I bought in the mid 1980's. I just can't let her go.

Look thru my old posts and you can see her in action racing in 1992.
