Weirdest, stupidest, illegal, regrettable thing you have done, with or in your 911?
 
Well, I'll start.

Cruising San Marcos Pass (Santa Barbara, near Lake Cachuma) after exiting Cold Springs Tavern with a smoking hot blonde. Top was down and apparently so was hers.

Next thing I know she is standing up in the passenger compartment, halter top down around her waist and hanging on to the windscreen frame. :eek:

She was enjoying the warm summer wind and reenacting the Titanic scene on the bow. She was built like the Titanic bow....epic tan lines and spectacular natural D cups Dagmars.

This lasted about two minutes with 6-7 vehicles passing by in the opposing lane. Honks, flashing lights and many thumbs up. Fortunately she dropped back into her seat just before the local POPO (CHP in this case) passed by. She still hadn't pulled up her top but quickly did so.

I scanned my rear view mirror and the Chippie apparently did not see her or was busy with his donuts. We got to her place and then.....:D

There may have been this one time in Louisiana on I-10 at redline in 5th gear....

Or another time on 45 south of Dallas almost at redline in 5th gear....

Shifting from 3rd to 2nd at redline while driving my mom's 911 without her permission when I was 17. Not my proudest moment.

GH85Carrera 04-07-2017 07:55 AM

I guess I am just an old boring person. I can't think of anything that fits the definition of weird, stupid, illegal, regrettable. Well I do regret the stupid California deer that tried to jump over my 911 and misjudged badly.

jwasbury 04-07-2017 08:56 AM

Threw the keys to the 930 to friend Timmy...

Too many to tell... my 911 cabriolets have always been a magnet for crazy stuff. :)

:D So have mine:D

140 over the at the time new Dames Point Bridge with my at the time girlfriend riding me:D

aschen 04-07-2017 09:32 AM

I made out with a 15 year old high school girl in mine :D







I was 16 at the time though. My father bought the 930 new and it has been in the family since.

matthewb0051 04-07-2017 09:33 AM

Regret:

Sold a great low mileage 993 C4 just before market went up.

Jeez - that may qualify as stupid also...:o

LEAKYSEALS951 04-07-2017 09:40 AM

I let off the gas in a corner once.

Seahawk 04-07-2017 09:42 AM

I added a cup holder to my 83 SC.

vash 04-07-2017 09:49 AM

sold it.

pwd72s 04-07-2017 09:59 AM

Taking the 5th...

Gogar 04-07-2017 10:12 AM

Mine involved trailing throttle oversteer and a barbed wire fence. Not my car or my fence or my driving though.

I clicked on Pelicanparts.com.

I shoonta never done it.

matthewb0051 04-07-2017 11:12 AM

Oh I forgot:

Getting ready to buy my third Porsche but only one currently in the driveway. That's either well thought out or crazy stupid.

I was moving, short on cash, no space... should have kept it.

Vipergrün 04-07-2017 12:37 PM

Sold my SC backdate "Vipergrün", because driving it and going to the track was "too solitary" and did not involve the family. Sold it and bought a pocket yacht I kept in the local marina. Kids quickly grew tired of that. Sold the boat. I'm back in the market for a Porsche :--)

Dunno, some of the New Years Day SoCal runs we used to do were a bit crazy....

ben parrish 04-07-2017 01:00 PM

Just purchased my car (twenty years ago) and a buddy wanted to see how fast we could go. Passed the state trooper shifting from third at redline...we both looked at each other as the trooper was smoking the tires trying to turn around quickly. I continued to hammer down and ran her to redline through 4th and then 5th. Ran flat out for about 3 miles or so and then turned onto another road running back up to top speed. Lost sight of the trooper at the turn and never saw him again...until, the next day when he spun around and followed me for a good ten miles. Never lit me up but I knew he knew it was me that he chased the previous afternoon.
Oh, yeah, the really stupid part was I realized a few weeks later as I was getting new tires that I did this all on ten year old tires. God looks after fools I guess.

Deschodt 04-07-2017 01:14 PM

Regrettable? I backdated my SC.
It's cute and all, but it never felt like an earlier car and I regret doing it.

Regear the tranny.

DaveE 04-07-2017 02:50 PM

I've done plenty of weird illegal things, but I can't think of any I regret.

I boinked a girl in the 356 Cab who ended up stalking me for years afterwards. I was starting my senior year in HS and I was happy to be moving out of town. That was not the craziest thing that I've ever done in a Porsche, but the only one that I think I'll write about.

gduke2010 04-07-2017 04:46 PM

Yes, I redlined it in 5th gear, just once though. It seemed solid and felt safe. I thought about it afterward and that a collision with deer could've been catastrophic, and never again.

berettafan 04-07-2017 05:03 PM

Found a tree in a field. I guess the good thing is I went off forwards and not tail first like a proper 911 wreck.

Let my teenage daughters drive my SC.....

tevake 04-07-2017 06:16 PM

Stupid, you bet.
Last year I really detailed it out for the only time I've shown the car in a PCA show.
The very next time I washed the car. Taking it for a quick dry off drive. I had neglected to secure the front trunk lid and it blew up at about 35 mph.
Did a lot of damage to the cowl and corners of the hood.

Still haven't gotten it fixed, as it really needs the fenders taken off to deal with some rust between fenders and the tub.
And I'm not well situated to dig that deep into the car right now.

Ugg it kills me when I do that sort of thing to myself.

Cheers Richard

I may have done something similar once. I didn't have to drive nearly as far, maybe 1 mile, before I was able to pull off and have lunch in a parking lot. I was getting ready to sell the car, and was taking a buddy for a ride. I never drove to lunch again.

Have done that before....once. Fortunately I "found out" at only about 15 mph, so no damage done, other than to my ego.
