Then they drove it in anger, found out too late they lacked the skills needed to control such a car and crashed. Instead of acknowledging it was their lack of skills that caused the crash, they turned around and blamed Porsche for not having all kinds of electronic driver-aids built into the car (wasn't that the reason they bought the car to begin with?) to save them from their own stupidity.

      @@masquenada7584 Actually, while on business in Stuttgart from the States, I toured the plant in Zuffenhausen many years ago, while the 959's were in production. It was the VIP experience of a lifetime for this Porscheholic (and I'm NOT even a VIP, but I did have a special connection at the time who set everything up)! I was driving a 911 back then and they treated me like absolute royalty. They even opened the museum for me, which was normally closed that day. My tour guide took the velvet ropes down and allowed me to sit in some very, very famous cars. They also allowed me to take some production line pictures inside the plant, which is normally verboten. Last, it was really my lucky day, as I was able to get shots of a group of about ten spanking new 959's, protective plastic wrapped, sitting behind Werkes 1, awaiting shipment to their lucky new owners. My tour concluded at the museum and they even sent me home with some special gift shop mementoes, cool posters, and a beautiful Porsche crest key fob. I've kept my beautiful official Porsche Visitor badge all these years and will treasure the memory of that very special day forever!
