Well, that's not gone well. Not at all.

A drive in California by members of the Rennlist Porsche forum ended very badly this past weekend when the most valuable car in the group, a lovely purple ("Arena Red," actually) 993 RUF Turbo R, collided with a pickup truck and was then struck by a newer 997 911.

The good news is that no one was badly injured. The bad news is that great air-cooled RUF is pretty much a write-off, probably.
