It's always nice to see cars that are actually driven and not babied by someone who just wants the badge on the front of the car.

Looks sweet to me man!

OP you always get complainers!

I'd love to have a car like that and a place to do that 😀

Koing
come to switzerland in the winter, rent a p 911 turbo and have fun. 😉
 
He totally almost plowed that building a couple of times in that little lot.

Personally, I think there is a fine line between "not babying" a car and being a complete retard with your $100k ride. I think this guy is leaning towards retard.

If he were out on a racetrack in the snow or something I could understand it, but come on... doing donuts in small parking lots with your 911 turbo? That is not using the car that is abusing it.

That's retarded. Lets take a 911 in the snow and do circles. Great. Congratulations

Some people are just way too uptight to know how to let loose and have fun. Gotta hate life for people like you.

God I love those cars. I've done something similar in a 1996 Q45 one time 😀 me and my best friend took it out after midnight in an empty mall parking lot when it was raning. If you floor it with the wheel turned 1 way..then all the sudden spin the wheel the other direction, you'll be sent into a nice 360 - 900 spin that is quite fun 😀

Not uptight, i'd just call it logical. Why would you take a 100K+ car and potentially damage the vehicle while doing something a $500 car is perfectly capable of? That Porsche is purpose built, and i can guarantee it's not for "doing doughnuts". Either that guy has so much money he doesn't care about the car, or he's plain retarded.

Thats your personal though and opinion though, that does NOT make it right. The car IS made for doing circles, check the AWP capability. He's just out having fun. Show me a $500 that can slide around like that and not hit one of those poles.

lol... i dunno about the car being made for doing circles... i don't even know what's fun about doing donuts... or sliding around in a parking lot... 🙂 but yes thats my opinion. 😛 id take it to track days if i had one... but i could only afford go karts so i'm stuck with that. 🙁
