Can't wait to hear all about it!! :cool:
Weather forecast is perfect, 21°C sunny!

Ok, have to wait just a little bit longer.
I was rear ended after picking up the car.
Can you believe it???
I'm pretty tired now.
From ultimate happiness to utter disappointment, that sucks a lot of energy...
All is being taken care of so meanwhile I got a 992 for the time being.
Sad story isn't it?
To be continued.

Oh NO! I'm so sorry to hear that. What a horrible experience to have on your first day.

(Your loaner car is nice. I have both, so I know just how nice.)

Keep us posted on the repair, and know that this too will become a distant memory (and a good story).

Indeed, it's not that serious.
The other car though...
That's 800kg vs 2400kg.

PS That Launch Control is insane!!!
It is indeed a rocket launch, un be liev able!!!
Glad I tried that before this accident, lol.

Dee,
Very sorry to see your car got hit. That totally sucks. You will want to make sure the car is repaired at a Porsche approved body shop with chassis dimension checking rig. The car is made with a lot of aluminum that can't be pulled back into alignment. Anything bent has to be replaced. Good luck.

Indeed.
It's now at my dealership.
It seems no structural damage so no record attached to my chassis number.

I hope when you rise Sunday morning that you focus on the fun you had before the crash. How many miles did you manage before this happened? Hopefully a whole lot...to tide you over until it's back.

I have real empathy for how that feels. Sometime I'll tell the tale of my own misadventure in my first week. It's becoming a distant memory. Perhaps it's time for the story...

Take care and enjoy the 992.

Dee! Very sad to read this post! :eek::eek:I can just not believe it. I was so looking forward to your report about the Taycan. As others have said hope that the repair will not take too long so you can enjoy the car.

Wow, unreal sorry to hear. Hopefully you get it back sooner than later, hard to filter but it could've been a lot worse with injuries. Hang in there !

What a nightmare! Not a good start to the Taycan experience. Feel for you.
