Owner was not in vehicle.

Looks like a track - prepped 944. Being driven on the highway?

Whoa! It had "special" tires!

The newscaster did say "por-sha"... so I'm good with it.

JP

whew, it wasn't me!!! lol, but that is a tempting stretch of road that i often travel!

Parts car!!!!

Dumbass, driving on slicks, especially this time of year...

Looks like the cage held up well.

Stupid is as stuipd does

Owner not in car?

Hope it was not someone with purchase intent doing a test drive.

You broke it, you bought it.

Probably a dumb question but are you actually allowed to drive a car on a US highway that's wearing slick tyres?

"Allowed" and can you do it are two different things. I drive on partially used RA-1 to the track all the time (track is 1 hour away...I shipped them with a freind to Mid Ohio). I have a friend that drives on Hoosier slicks. I guess it's all in the risk you want to take. I guess if you're stopped, the officer might cite you for improper equipment. If he notices...he didn't for me. :D

This is sensationalist news coverage: "Wow it had flames on the side!" The day when a "porsche race car" flipping over makes the news are good days indeed.

No.

Hasn't everyone driven on public streets with racing tires at least once?
