On a funny note - I guess it gives new meaning to the phrase "becoming one with the road" right ?

On a realistic note - the thread title kinda disturbs me as part of the stereotypes from general public that exotic car owners face.
Proof that karma exists? - like a successful businessman driving a 997 DESERVES to have his car stuck in cement? Get the f**k out of here.....
The karma (not that I believe in such) was payback for his impatience, deciding that he didn't need to abide by the coned off area, not b/c he drives a Porsche. To me, you're taking it the wrong way.
