Make sure there are no trucks in your way.

I would put the blame at 50/50. The trucker for not posting a flagger or putting up triangles and the driver for not paying attention to the road.

Seems like there was room for him to sneak by had he not lost control coming around the corner.

ABS would have saved the day.

I've driven like a d-bag in that spot numerous times. Funny..


I had an invite to the Carousel Porsche grand opening event later that night (Wednesday). Not my style...

Would have been interesting to talk to Magnus however.

My buddy Chris attended (he has a Macan Turbo). He said the event went "Full of a bunch of rich people" ... lol


Kuan ,I think you met him at that Mercedes show we attended years ago...

One wonders how bad the damage was. Looks some steel edge contacted the front door. Seems like bent doors are never the same. Maybe a new/used door and frame repair.

And a haircut.
