Default Bear vs 992!

Well hopefully this edited video works; it took enough effort to shorten it. This happened while I was out and about driving the 992 yesterday; things got a little interesting.

Once the music starts and I after I pass the car, start looking for the orange warning sign in the middle of the median. Then look LEFT at the on-coming lanes of the 4 lane highway and you will see the Black Bear who has decided to make a mad dash across the road, trying to run in front of me. Fortunately for the guy behind me, I got past him quickly and the bear missed him as well but not by too much.

Who says the 992 has too much HP; it sure wasn't (and won't ever) be me! Those little buggers can move faster than you think.

Thanks for letting me know as I had set the security the wrong way on the video when uploading it. Yeah I have never seen a bear in that particular area and especially not during the middle of the day. I was just glad the bear didn't run into the person behind me since I was concerned that I probably blocked his / her line of sight.
