This looks like a mental health problem to me. Intentionally drive your Porsche into a truck's fuel tank? Insane.

Although Leesburg is now an exburb of DC, I don't believe I know the guy. Seems like he might been wound too tight...intentionally crashing a 997 into a truck. A 996, sure. A targa or cab, absolutley. But a 997 coupe?.

Yes. The fact that a Porsche 911 was the nearest weapon at his disposal is almost irrelevant. What a lunatic.

Curious how this azzhat will play in court. Will they take his weapon away? I'm all for seeing that 997 confiscated and then at a police auction.

Malicious wounding. An interesting charge.

After being repeatedly crashed into a truck, you might not want what's left.

If bad turns to worse there's always ebay to re-home the intact bits from the firewall back.
