Man, I hate to see this:

Porsche Turbo being abused...

I can't understand why someone would treat this car this way? There are literally dozens of other videos like this. There was another video I saw a while back (from this same jack-***) the same car had a huge dent on the rear right fender.


I guess the one thing I've learned about with these videos is that these cars CAN take abuse. With all this talk of timing belts breaking and people destroying their valves... I'm worried about driving my car hard when I've got it finished... even after I have a new timing belt installed...

Idiot driver should have his car confiscated and sold on for $5, and have his license suspended. A good kick in the ***** wouldn't go astray either.

This video was posted countless times before. Then the guy tried to sell the car and got busted by people here when his ad said the car was never abused. It got very ugly but funny as hell as his credibility was dunked into the sewer trying to defend himself.

Well, if it's an 84 then it isn't a Turbo, now is it?

One more example that the gene pool is way too watered down.
