Topic: Burning Porsche

[Noto]

I just noticed...look at the nice rack on the woman viewing the burnt out Porsche!

Oh, Ron...

Hey, at least the front end of the 918 is salvageable

...and I'm sure his premiums won't go up 

 if he can afford a $900K car, I really doubt he's  concerned about insurance premiums..

Define "concerned"...You may pay $2,000-$3,000/year for premiums, but for a $1M car, the premiums are more like $20,000-30,000/year.  My boss wanted to take his car on the track.  Chubb was the only insurer that would give him a policy that included track usage, and they wanted $14,000/year.  That's with a Porsche 911.  There's no question that with the 918, premiums are stupidly high, and even the ultra rich will gawk at those kinds of premiums.

your boss is not in this snack bracket... 911's are a dime a dozen compared to a 918

This has been brought to court several times in Ontario already...and the insurance company lost every time. If the event is not a timed event and is HPDE event....The standard insurance covers the car.

But I'm sure the insurance company would fight it again if they had to.

Not sure if everyone heard the details....but the guy overfilled/spilled the gas. So what does he do? He gets the gas station squeegee and squeegees the gas off his paint toward the back of the car....directly onto the hot exhaust!

There is a lot wrong with what he did there.

No self respecting car person would drag a squeegee across their new paint....

I wouldn't do that to my 13 year old truck.

The fuel evaporates quickly, but any wax/etc is gone, so you just need to wash and rewax the car.  Trying to wipe off the gas is stupid.

It was a learning experience.
