It's been a while since updating here.
Unfortunately last week I had a run in with a Freightliner truck. I was pulled up at the lights in the far right lane and he just decided to merge into me. Here are the photos I got from the scene.

And here are some more photos I got once I got to work and started the whole get a quote for the repairs.

Anyway, I dropped the car off at my body shop of choice, C & C Collision out in Alhambra, CA.
Luckily for me, the owners there are both Porsche fanatics and I may even be able to score an engine from one of them. Hopefully everything works out with insurance etc and I get a nicely fixed and painted drivers rear quarter.
Unfortunately the engine is starting to run a lot worse. I have been in contact with Arling of Rstrada to discuss an engine swap. It looks like a 3.0l SC motor might be the way to go, as for when I can start this process, hopefully soon. I need to purchase a cheap daily driver before I can start saving money for the engine swap.
I also have scheduled my drivers license test etc for next Wednesday, so that I can finally get my CA drivers license.
