2000 Porsche Boxster review from North America
"Anti-locks and airbags didn't work for me. Read on about how I drove off a cliff"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
6/21/01
Right rear anti-lock equipped brake locked up on a braking right turn on a mountain road and almost killed me.
Car rear slid out and I went off a 50' embankment and was fortunately caught in some tall pines, where I fell to the ground upright.
No airbags deployed. The pickup truck behind me made the turn, and braked to a stop. The Porsche is in the canyon, the pickup is parked next to my crash site, what's wrong with this picture?
My $50,000 Porsche is sitting is a wreckers yard in NC. waiting for the adjuster. I'm real curious about the rear wheel lock and no bags.
I'm going to do 6 weeks off work for this broken rib. I'm not a happy camper.
