moparmagiclives Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 I didnt see this posted, so I hope its not a double, but I thought someone would get a kick out of this. http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/porsche-stuck-wet-cement-proves-karma-exists-210302568.html
Agent G Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Why? A sense of entitlement. We see this all the time here, Lambo's perched on lawns, Ferrari's on fences, Maserati's in medians (upside down), Beemer's on berms. That jugghead in SF just drove around cones, why?, he's special, that's why. Dumbazz, he's so special he needs his own telethon. G
JMChladek Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 I guess if the 911 was all wheel drive, he must have thought he could go off road with it too.
Kit Basher Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 It is a case of having more dollars than sense. Sometimes not very many dollars are required in that equation.
JMChladek Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Reminds me of a joke I heard once. What is the difference between a porcupine and a Porsche? A porcupine has its pricks on the outside. Change the name of the car to anything from BMW to an exotic and you can sum up things perfectly.
slantasaurus Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 All of that concrete is going to have to be torn out and repoured. I hope the city sends him the bill instead of letting the taxpayers pay for it.
Mark Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 They're usually bought by second or third generation money (no clue how it was earned, plenty of ideas about how to spend it), or celebs/sports figures (who made too much too fast, and end up back at zero at some point). Rules only apply to working schmucks anyway...
Harry P. Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 If I was in charge of that, I would have left it up to the driver to figure out how to get his car out of there. And if he couldn't do it, I'd have grabbed the car with a crane and sent it off to the crusher as payment for him ruining the concrete job.
espo Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 No question this person is an idiot and should pay for the restoration of the street and the cost of the rescue. I'll bet his auto insurance will go up also. This sort of thing happens more than you might realize. In the resent past in a "Upscale" area in Johnson County Kansas a new off ramp from a major highway was put down in the mid-day. During rush hour several cars went around the barricades and drove up the off ramp. Some made it out, but after an untold number made it thru a couple of SUVs got stuck. Yes it was a mess. The drivers were charged, and the road contractor or county was able to get some of the expenses back from the drivers and their insurance companies. Too quote the comedian Ron White, "You can't fix stupid".
Chuck Most Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Stuff like this happens a lot more often with common vehicles- this probably wouldn't even be a newsworthy story if the guy had been driving, say, a '97 Grand Prix. I'd say there is a much greater number of idiots driving Impalas, Accords, etc., than exotic cars.
heatride Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 he's so special he needs his own telethon. G LOL Wayne im gonna use that line never heard it before , but its a dandy ........
seeker589 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 I gotta say - this could happen to anyone. Anyone with questionable decision making skills. There was a similar situation with a work truck being driven into wet concrete. Problem was - he just helped pour it! Bone head moves happen. Not heeding the blocked off street and driving around those cones is just as dumb as someone texting and driving or making the decision to street race on a busy street. It was just a really bad decision. Oddly enough - I feel sorry for all of us that just wish we could own such a fine car. Is the outstanding engineering and execution of those exotics lost on those that can buy them without a second thought?
martinfan5 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 BMW owners are the worse I think, they feel like they are the only ones that matter on the roads and no one should be in their way.
charlie8575 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 A lot of these people seem to think their cars come with the "road" option. As in they bought the road wth the car. Ummm...no. Charlie Larkin
diymirage Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 I think it would make a great diorama! im thinking...curbside
bigphoto Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 They should impound the car and let it sit for a couple days to let the concrete harden up in the suspension!!
Agent G Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) LOL Wayne im gonna use that line never heard it before , but its a dandy ........ Thank You Glenn ! I in no way want to detract from telethons or their importance to those special folk who truly need their benefits. Yet this moron qualifies as special in his own unique way. I really think he may be related to my last wife, just sayin'......................................... G Edited February 19, 2012 by Agent G

Fabrux Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Judging by the ready-mix truck there and the work area it looks like this is your regular Portland cement concrete. Possibly a sidewalk, or a high-traffic intersection. Seeing as how the truck is still there its probably a recent pour. Depending on the specified slump for that particular job they have about 6-8 hours to get the car out of the mix and rinsed off before it cures.
Draggon Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Saw that this morning, live just over the bridge from this jerk. Such a typical northern california bay area jerk. And we have so many of them I now hate to say I'm from NorCal@!
weasel Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 those signs didn't mean HIS Porch did they?? OMG, i got another call.....
Harold Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Apparently, the Porsche fell behind in its gambling debts, and is being fitted for some concrete Potenzas.
