Auto Journalist Sued For $174,000 After Destroying A Rare Porsche's Engine

Oh I could tell some stories!

Most relevant is during the international press launch drive for the Carrera GT, 2 journalists managed to exceed 10,000 rpms which "blew" their engines! :dance:

Why is it that some drivers treat that red spot on the tach as a waste of paint?
I've always believed it was there for a reason.
Popped out of gear? Sure...
Maybe dyslexic; can't tell the difference between 6000 and 9000.
