I forgot to tell you guys earlier, but about a week ago I had a small accident in the 914.

Coming up the highway doing about 65km/h, I was angled right into the sun, and it was pretty much blinding. Anyway, I reduced my speed to compensate for everything, but unfortunately, the guy ahead of me slammed on his brakes. I wasn't tailgating him in any way, but I didn't see him until it was too late because of the sun. I rear-ended the guy ahead of me, in his late-eighties Cavalier

Anyway, now I'm giving the body shop around $3000 to get it ship-shape again. Luckily for me nobody was hurt - the difference in speed was relatively little, and it was only a bit of a jolt for both of us. Also, lucky for my insurance, there was zero damage to his car. As in, nothing at all. Zip. Nada.

I suppose it just goes to show how well Karmann designed those crumple zones

Anyway, I'll keep you posted. I'll take a few pictures if I remember to take a camera to the bodyshop next time I pay my car a visit.
