Back in the day of the first generation Porsche Turbo Carrera, a stunning 1 in 20 of the cars were wrecked on day they left the lot.

Drivers over cooked it going into a turn or getting on or off a freeway on or off ramp, lifted the throttle, hit the brakes and then Katy bar the door.

That stat does not surprise me. It’s pretty easy to swap ends in a 911, even for a highly competent driver. They can be a little tempermental.

“first generation Porsche Turbo Carrera.......”

I remember a retrospective article on great cars that made reference to that model as “never having learned pity”.

Widow makers in that scenario. Bunch of rich kids, of any age, wondering why they were doing doughnuts or rolling backwards down the street.

Understeer, oversteer ... what did the salesman say as we drove off?
