Unless you are expressing worry about where he's doing these stunts and the danger he is putting people in.. i don't see the issue. Stupid place to be doing something like that, but beyond that, these cars are toys, not collectibles, not museum pieces. That guy will play with his toy the way he wants to, i will play with mine the way i want to, and you will play with yours the way you want to. If he can do that and afford to get a new transmission, rebuild the motor, etc, seems like fair game to me. Hell if he can afford to ditch teh whole car and get another when he wants to screw around why not? These are just cars.

edit - Also note I'm talking about the first vid not the second.

yeah the ICY HOT STUNTAZ, I remember them, they became really famous.

yeah I agree about the 944 being just a car, it's not like it's some kind of ultra rare porsche. For people that like them, theres still going to be plenty of good ones left at least in the next 10 years..... then like the 924 most 944s are going to be trashed.

that video is pretty funny though, it's right in the middle of traffic and the guy in the jetta was like what they hell is going on. It's be funnier if a cop car came by seeing him spinning around burning tire in the middle of the road lol.

The first one does not bother me that much. Dangerous and stupid sure, but it's his car. Now that second video is hilarious. Good stuff.

That hurt to watch. It could easily have resulted in a serious deasaster.

A few more of those, and the Police is going to monitor you guys as closesly as Camaros and ricers...

We already get pulled over since a lot of us are 20ish and driving porsches.


If anybody has the link to the original debate thread, I'd love to see it. I saw when all these videos were posted last time around (I posted the videos on his ebay auction for the car ), but never saw any of the debate.

Yup. My thoughts exactly.

I never did find that kind of stuff to be "impressive", even when I was a teenager. Let's see him hold his ground on a race track, and then I'll be impressed.
