Unhappy WTF!! 18 New Porsche's damaged in train accident

A train carrying 106 Porsches, most likely from the factory, crashed into another train, this one carrying oil (how ironic!). The result being a whole bunch of expensive Porsches ended up being spilled all over the tracks, including 18 that were declared a total loss.

Not as bad as the Mazda boat crash.

I'll take a Cayman S with a salvage title.
