Unhappy with your Porsche? Kill it.
 
Well, so much for all Porsche owners being happy with their 911 (well … M96 996).

An anonymous owner of a Porsche 911 donated his troublesome car to a local gun club rather than pay more than $20,000 to have it fixed. The wealthy motorist was so fed-up with the car's constant engine problems he was happy to see 140 members of the Massachusetts club Comm2A fire 10,000 bullets into it. Photographer and gun enthusiast John Beauchemin says: "By the end of the shoot, the Porsche was so perforated that it was folding in half under its own weight. It was hauled off to the junkyard on a flatbed."

I wonder what the story is?
Can anyone find the owner and have him post here?
License plate seems to be Massachusetts MGL 140.

Best,
Grady

Far as I'm concerned, this should happen to all 996's...:D

Joe Bob 06-26-2011 10:17 AM
How would you feel if it was a 75 Mustang II?

Seriously...the same. Only difference is that if it was a Mustang? Most of those on this board would cheer...Let's face it, all car makers have made terrible models...they just didn't all sell for as much as the 996 did new...

island911 06-26-2011 10:53 AM
after all of that, did anyone check to see if it would start and run? --Clarkston would have.;)

porsche4life 06-26-2011 01:18 PM
The 996 may not be loved by you purist snobs... But it is far from being a "terrible" car....
