WRX "Stuck Throttle" Story

I'm not sure if this has been posted, but it's pretty hilarious. It gets real good around page 3 where somebody finally pulls the B.S. lever! Apparently, this kid's been in 2 previous accidents with the car

A repost from the 911 board but a classic. My favorite image is this one

please notice that he has a Porsche "turbo" badge on the back of his Suburu I think I know what kind of people we are dealing with here...



I wish this would happen to every 18 year-old kid that does 80 through a residential neighborhood. Car gets totaled, they learn a valuable lesson, no one gets hurt.

That turbo badge could be from a VW New Beetle Turbo:

Wow - I just read most of the thread where the guy describes his mishap with the house.

What a stupid moron!

That is near me. I will be making a Harbor Freight run this weekend. I will see how much of the damage remains on the house. I can't believe that none of the local press picked this up. He bragging story after wards "will this buff out?" almost begged for incarceration. If my P-car was in the garage, I would be facing murder charges.

it's a P-badge.

. ..if it helps; look at the spacing difference between the "b" & the "o"

Who me?!?

Island - you're right - it's a Porsche turbo badge, not a VW.
