This is a pretty crazy story that was submitted by Garrett. Guy’s got more cahones than I do.
I was taking the first big trip in my newly purchased Boxster. I was approaching downtown Kansas City one evening and weaving through traffic at about 90 mph. I came up on an early model Corvette Sting Ray.
I looked in my rear-view mirror and saw the ‘Vette approaching, apparently wanting to race. We played tag a few times and bumped the speed up to about 120 mph.
He swerved over into the left hand lane in attempt to pass me again, and I saw him take a drag on a cigarette, which apparently caused him to lose focus. He then fishtailed and did a 180, narrowly missing several other cars on the freeway. Thankfully no one entered harms way.
Yeah, that is just a little crazy. Wow, that was a lucky day.
Idiots like Garrett should never own, much less drive a Porsche.
He is one of a few who abuses the Porsche privilege by driving
irresponsibility while speeding and racing on public freeways.
A menace to himself and others. If you have to show off, take it to the track.
Stay in Kansas with the rest of the hayseed farmers and red necks.
i could see a couple of rice burners doing that, but high end cars? hmm, i wonder…
either way it would be cool to see it go down!
Come on people! Why would you ever buy a sports car if you didnt intend to drive it for what it was made for? I guess in general people in America are scared of many things.
Nice Story!
Smoking kills – in more ways than one.
Im sure there is a police report out there searching for someone with Garetts description.
tsk tsk…should be careful with what you say online
Thanks Jared. And Russ, there probably are a few police reports looking for someone with my description… but what is life if you don’t live it?
I didn’t buy a Porsche to go putt around at the speed limit. It’s a driving car, and that’s what I do with it. I’ve put 20,000 miles on it in 6 months!
I don’t know many Porsche owners/drivers that don’t enjoy their cars like I do! I can only think of one, a female that was driving a 996 Ruf RTurbo cabrio tiptronic at Porsche Palooza last year…
