I thought they looked like slicks in one of the pics:

I wouldnt be surprised if there was no Porsche and he just took the corner too quick. You'd think if he were hit from behind there would be damage, but that area seems rather unscathed.![Shrug](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/shrug.gif)

^^^ reckless but have total control of my car....
if you wanna do 60mph on a highway in that car may i suggest saving some dough and getting a prius....
i would do 80 and occasionally hit 100....not saying i would go 180mph....
guess reckless was the wrong word used but you get the point....

A few people on F-chat are getting on his case about it. Since police reports are public records, I wouldnt be surprised if it ends up online.

It'll be very interesting to see how this plays out... Judging by his posts, he doesn't seem to be the humblest person out there though.

Hello Officer
iTrader: (6)
Frank (Ronin) is such a douche.
Claims to have been hit by a porsche, no evidence of it.
Sailboat catches on fire just before his car accident. What's funny is that his vessel should have had at least 3 fire extinguishers on board and had more than enough time to put the fire out. Funny how the sails are also down and taken place at night.
Many are claiming insurance fraud.
On the other hand, he's looking into an R8 GT.

*the civilian is Frank (ronin).

I don't know who the guy is nor heard of him before this crash, but after I read the article over at jalopik regarding this crash, I instantly knew he was a douchebag.

Just read through a few forums discussing this....I think most people don't like him because of the way he type/talks. Very controlling, not to mention dropping the F-Bomb or C-Bomb every other word. A shame, as he's got a great car..

This story is everywhere. Not knowing the owner personally, looks like insurance fraud (or maybe I read too many posts from people who hate "ronin"). Interesting stories though.
Oh and "It's Clutch", at least mention L4P as your source if you are going to use everything you read there and "report" it here...

Why does he have to do that? Unless you're in R&P you don't have to mention sources. I don't care where the info came from or what site he read it on... just interesting to read... although I do agree that he should re-host the photos for those that are not L4P members...
