What a quitter!! One accident in 76 years and he just STOPS driving?? I think he needs an E60 to remind him of how much fun driving can be! That way he can take out a WHOLE ROW of Porsches instead! All kidding aside, what a sweet old man, even getting his own broom to sweep up the glass from his accident.
