Porsche 911 Turbo

I was on my way home from a friends house, I was in the right hand turn lane and a brand new porsche 911 turbo pulled up behind me. He was waiting very impaitently. Once I turn he sped around me to give me a dirty look just as he was speeding up and looking at me a black toyota camry stopped. He went underneath the camry. I had to veer to the right to avoid him from also hitting me. Everyone was alright, his porsche was totaled. Thats about a 120k car? I suppose the moral of the story is...don't be impatient and a jerk?

The Peter Principle: "In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence."

Just modifiy that slightly and change the word "employee" to "driver."

That reminds me of a story I heard from a guy that worked at a motorcycle dealer. Some dude came in and bought a brand new bullet bike with all the accessories. He then went outside, sat down on it and he revved it too much causing him to fall off the bike as it shoots forward into a brick wall, totalling the bike...

If you have money and you want to drop it on a sportscar or fancy motorcycle thats fine, but for heaven's sake please know how to drive it and don't be a jerk about it...

How do you know it was brand new? There are few in the country yet. If a 2006 997TT its about 135K+ out of the door

Having money doesn't necessarily mean you have brains

I would image that the 911 had dealer paper where the plates should be. Was that the case Jtrem?
