Gone fishing: Porsche 911 Turbo edition

A good way to end a friendship

If you were thinking about loaning your car to a friend this weekend, you may want to reconsider after watching this time-lapse video.

According to reports, the 24-year old owner of this Porsche 911 Turbo let his friend drive and the 29-year old drove it off a boat dock into the Rhine River.

The recovery mission took two attempts and approximately 20 minutes, but the car looks surprising well for spending a few days under water.

I hope they still friends. What else can you expect from a guy who has over 500hp for a weekend. Obviously he will put every single horse to use. I hope he had fun.

24 years old owner, 996 Turbo, lend to friend on his own.... do you think he really care much?!! we got to know there are a lot of people on this planet don't really think Porsche is that expensive... especially for those whose dad has a Veyron as a daily driver and usually travel to work/school on helicopters.......

There is an old saying: What is the difference between Porshe and blond girl. You never borrow your Porshe to a friend.

perhaps that Porsche could diversify their enterprise towards the tea manufacturing business as this high-profile demonstration suggests .
