Default I ran into the garage...

I recently bought a new house and decided to move all the garage stuff today..including my 948 even though it had no front brakes(doing a front brake swap atm and didnt have rotors). My original plan was to idle it in a bit and just kill the motor. I noticed that I gave a bit too much gas and tried to stall the engine (which obviously didnt work)

all in all the curb infront of the wall stopped the car but not the tow hook.

figured you guys could use the sunday night amusement at my expense

Just proves that you can't handle the newfound torque. ;-)

Sounds like you need one of my signs to cover that pesky hole up...

At least you didn't clip one of your 1/4 panels like I did on my old townhome. That sucked and ended up costing me about $800.
