Don't Be Stupid

With the proliferation of Cars & Coffees and the showing off that occurs for the video bloggers, it was bound to happen. Unfortunately it was a Porsche driver who caused all the carnage here.

Be the adult at the gathering.

Bozo.

Sadly this "peeling out of C&C" has become a national trend and incidents with injuries like this will potentially end friendly car meets once the lawyers get ahold of it and write prohibitive clauses into commercial property leases.

There was a big C & C event every month in San Diego and it got shut down by A-holes doing stupid things.

Our local event has been warning about this behavior in its email announcements and has said that certain offenders have been disinvited. They should go to the drag strip or race track to do that stuff and even there do it only on the track itself!

You don't usually see P car owners doing this kind of thing - But looking at the silly stripes on the car this owner may be just a juvenile.

At our local c's & c it's usually the mustang or muscle car guys doing burnouts.

Don't be a brand snob. This is an idiot thing, not a car thing.

Just to punctuate the stupidity, that idiot must have been really trying hard to get that car out of control. Porsches, and Boxsters in particular, just don't lose it like that. The driver must have had PASM completely off and initiated the spin while turning. I hope the driver gets hit hard both criminally and civilly.
