See Dick drive a teen!!
(Ha ha that sounds like a porno title)

The car was obviously overloaded, "...the driver and his two companions". He would have made it with only one other person in the 914.

Wow. Without the pictures we'd all have called it "urban legend". Truth IS stranger than fiction. Wish someone had caught it on tape. These 3 get a gold medal in the moron olympics.



But they DID make it! Article says they soared 10-15 feet across the gap and went another ~70 before touchdown on the other side. You're looking at what happened when it smashed into the bottom of the ramp coming down the far side.

Great.. I get there and its posted on one of those STUPID limited VIEW websites..

Post the pic here... pull it from your browser cache.

Here it is:

And the other...

Damn.. that is good.

Thanks Paul.

The caption on the second picture says it's in Clearwater. That's the Tampa Bay area, where I grew up. Now you know why I don't want to go back there.

'Cuz they're lookin' for ya?
-Ben M.

Nope... cause they are beer drinking REDNECKS in that there city.

When do you visit again Jon ??



B

If it had saggy-ass rear springs and the nose had been in the air... the bottom of the car would have been scraped up but they would have made it...LOL

B

Dont you mean ..DOOHHH!!!

Hahahahaahaha!

That reminds me of that comic, whats his name, Jeff Foxworthy or something

If ya go out drinking beer and driving a itty bitty sports car... you might be a redneck.

if you try to out run the cops in that itty bitty sports car... you might be a redneck.

if you try to jump a draw bridge like the Duke's of Hazzard in that itty bitty sports car... you might be a redneck.

if you try to jump a draw bridge like the Duke's of Hazzard with 2 buddies in speedo's in that itty bitty sports car... you might be a redneck.



Did you see the windshield? ouch!
The second pic on the right, those boy's are rolling around in a world of hurt.

DOH!!!!

Porsche 914 - $5000
Case of beer- $15
Bag of pot - $100
3 idiots in speedos trying to jump a draw bridge
And not making it....
Priceless
What dumb shits
bruce

I bet Rusty could fix that!

Geoff

when was the last time a bag of pot was $100? LOL

My friends still smoke and they amaze me at the prices they pay

That is a pretty funny pic though

Did anyone notice if the webpage said when that happened?

The rednecks are mostly inland. Out towards the beaches it's white trash (even tho a lot of that white trash is easy on the eyes).

I probably won't be back until Christmas unless my Grandmother's health starts going downhill again.

Last time I was in Clearwater, someone shot down a police helicopter. Nope, no rednecks around there.

Ummmm... it depends on how big the bag is???
Ya, it's over the price of gold by now! Can you imagin how hard it would be to have the cops pounding on your door and have to flush it at that price??? It was hard to do that when it was only $10
bruce

Ya think they yelled Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihhhhhhaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww when the first got air?

Or maybe it was Yiiiiiiiihha.......uh..........oooohhhhh SSSSHHHHHIIIIIIITTTTTT!

Dude.. to much time in the Midwest..


Its YeeeeeeHaaaaaawwww. Not Yiiiihaaaaww with the "i's"

How old are you ?? Did'nt your parents make you watch the TV program "YeeHaw" ?? Or was it HeeHaw ??


LOL


B

I'm in Tampa, across the bay from Clearwater. I've been over that bridge a million times, but never thought about jumping it. If you get caught at that bridge on a Saturday you might as well turn off your engine and take a nap. Guess they didn't want to wait.

Clearwater is also known a "God's Waiting Room". You have to be old as dirt to live there.

Paul

LOL! You mean I've been spelling that word wrong all this time dammit?

Hell yes they made me watch Hee Haw!.... BR 549 baby!

After looking at that (and having driven a 914 or two), I wonder to myself how that car had enough power to get sufficient momentum to drive UP the ramp and OVER the 15' gap with THREE people in it.

..must be a 2.0 ;-)

Rick

Those idiots need their asses spanked for fucking up a perfectly good teener.
Couldn't they used a old Gremlin to pull that stunt? LOL

Thank God it wasn't a /6.

-Rusty

As idiotic as it is, man what a story.
The facts:
1) three kids in a Porsche
2) outran a pursuing police vehicle
3) jumped across an open drawbridge and made it
4) survived to tell the story

Now don't get me wrong. These guys are idiots plain and simple, but how many people have a story this good with pictures to prove it?

I'm glad it was a 914. File it away under "Cool things done in a 914." A Gremlin? Come on... The Gremlin guys would be lucky if "Coolest thing done in a Gremlin" was "made out with the girl with the lazy eye".

What was that early '80's spy movie where they jumped a silver 911 turbo over the Berlin wall (leaving it in much the same condition as the draw-bridge 914)? I saw it around 1982 or so. I was 11 or 12, visiting an aunt and uncle and pretended to be asleep then got up and watched it on HBO in the middle of the night. I had found a way to see it because I had seen in the trailers that there was a Porsche chase scene in the movie.

-Ben M.

those three boneheads give "PEOPLE" a bad name! Frickin hippie rednecks

If they'd have done the BMW 325 brake upgrade they might have gotten it stopped before they got to the end of the bridge

I'm wondering if its rust caused it to break apart before it actually hit the ground.


Just kidding.

Come on guys! Get with it! Where did they take the valuable parts?



I'd rather drive a donor, than a loaner.



M

LMAO! I guess those boys watched 1 too many episodes of the Dukes of Hazzard!
