Hi folks, been sitting here reading about S mishaps and decided I'd do a little bit of research. I wanted to see just how many crashes there were, and if there were maybe some similarity to them, some common denominator. I decided I'd start my research when I purchased my S, which was in September of last year.

The parameters of the data were that only crashes where there was substantial damage done to the S were included. No fender benders or parking lot type accidents were added. I included the following information:

Date (month the accident took place)

Location (state or country of residence - as of now, I've primarily focused on the US. As time goes by, I will include other countries in the mix, no offense intended, just a tad short of time)

Description (As good a description of the event as possible. I'm by no means trying to judge the driver or conditions, and I would hope that no one else does either.)

Results/Driver (what happened to the driver physically)

Results/Car (what happened to the S)

If someone notices that their accident is listed, and can give me some more information, please PM me so that I can keep an accurate database going. If you notice that you had an accident within the time frame - from Sept. 03 - on, and I didn't include your accident and you'd like me to, please PM me.

I'd like to keep this database going, if ya'll think it would be useful, so whenever there's an accident mentioned in one of the forums involving an S, please PM me and I'll keep it updated as best I can.

It's my hope that we can all learn something from these events and hopefully avoid them in the future.

thanx
