You have to love newscasters. It's a Boxster, not a 911. It's Porsch-ah, not Porch. And yes, they are really well balanced in the air and on the ground. :shock:

That's what I call "riding the curbs" :roflmao:

Those boys really "took off" with their father's car :D

Wouldn't you say that Boxsters can "really fly"? :)

(O.K., that's enough...) :|

I agree these Boxsters are build like tanks, last year I had a %^&(** rear end my Boxster with a RAM Worker Pickup Truck while I was stopped (sitting duck) a stop light in Downtown San Diego.

The impact was pretty big, as it pushed me into the intersection. I thought the car was going to be badly damaged or gone, but surprise. I was able to drive home and the pickup had a lot more damage than my car with it's front bumper and lights hanging and touching the ground behind my car :D . I continued to drive the car until I found a place to repair it, but it only needed a new bumper cover, a new rear light, readjust and paint the deck lid and fender. Well, months later I had to swap out the engine, which I always wondered if it was related to the impact of the accident. But as for safety, I think they are really well designed cars.

Here is another miracle or example on how safe these cars are. These guys lost control after a tire blew at 240+ km/h. Both passenger and driver walked away with minor scratches.

You know, a little rubbing compound and that will buff right out.
