Impatience Slows Porsche Driver to a Halt
A driver behind the wheel of a speedy silver Porsche 911 discovered the hard way that speeding up can sometimes slow you down.
The unidentified male driver was navigating San Francisco’s hilly roads last week when he reportedly swerved in order to get ahead of stopped traffic. Instead, his own sports car came to a complete stop when he drove it right into a patch of wet cement.
Unfortunately for the driver, not only was he stuck, but he was also caught on tape by Jim Gorzelany, an automotive writer for Forbes who just happened to be driving by and posted the incident on the magazine’s website.
Gorzelany reports the man stayed in his six-figure sports car as construction workers scurried to shovel the cement out from underneath the car’s wheels before it set even further.
The car was eventually removed, according to Gorzelany, but it was already too late. He estimates the likely damage means the driver will need to replace his car’s entire undercarriage.
