A Wanker
The car is a **** heap
"My brother's Supra would kill that c*nt"
And many other things I couldn't make out.
This happens a lot. One common element is that the Porsche hating kids are always "ethnically challenged" if you know what I mean. (Trying to be PC probably stuffing it up)

Victor,
Last night I was at the Glenferrie Rd and Riversdale Rd intersection (turning left into Riversdale), and a bevy of homies, standing outside the Dairy Bell, were egging me on to go spastic when the lights turned green. My amused girlfriend was pretty sure I wasn't going to give these boys what they wanted. When the light went green, I launched the car at 5,000rpm, and got massive -- but controllable -- oversteer as I turned into Riversdale before changing into second at 7,500rpm.
My girlfriend: You just had to do it, didn't you?
Me: When I was young, I used to stand on street corners and beg 911 drivers to give me what I wanted. They never did, and I swore I'd never be an uptight prick if I had a 911.
Another reason for the demonstration was that I was surprised that a 911 could make gen Y'ers go mental.
Maybe they were too white bread.
