I'm assuming most of us have seen this photo Magnus posted? I know many don't care for him, especially after what happened in MN but still, it's 914 related!

"So it's official- I have caught a Dose of 914 fever , apparently it's a double dose - Stay tuned to see how it goes #porsche #midengine"

I got in an accident once, driving too fast on a road after a rain, rear-ended the car in front of me. Bloodied my nose on the steering wheel. I was wrong, and I should have known better...

guess I don't deserve my 914 either...

It's like complaining there are too many 914 restoration threads in the garage forum...that would never happen on 914World... right?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

I'm guessing you didn't see the video of him racing a Honda on the freeway weaving in and out of traffic? Who knows how many other times he's done that yet it wasn't recorded or there wasn't an incident?

Is there a pattern here or just bad luck having these 2 things brought out in the open?

And what, you've never done anything stupid in your 914?

I'd say a rather large percentage of us with fun cars have done stupid shit with them. That's nothing new. The ONLY reason these are issues is because he is a high profile and very polarizing person.

As if Jay Leno has never received speeding/reckless driving ticket before for hauling ass on the freeway, or for dicking around up in the Malibu Canyons, yet he is always viewed as an ambassador for the hobby.

Definitely a double standard within the community.
