What happened in journalist Peter Cheney’s garage was any parent’s nightmare. Peter Cheney is an automotive journalist who writes for the Globe and Mail, a Canadian news publication. Peter frequently test drives automobiles and writes reviews of his experience driving the cars. Recently, Cheney was given an opportunity to take home a Porsche 911 Turbo, valued at $180,000. Cheney was supposed to keep the car for a few days so that he could write a full review of the luxury automobile’s performance and handling. Ideally, he was supposed to return the vehicle in one piece.

Instead, Peter came home to find his garage in shambles and the Porsche badly damaged. Read on for the full story and photos!

Spotted this Porsche 997 GT3 on Flickr. The photo was taken by Brandon Perdeck and it is well worth checking out his photostream.

This 997 GT3 just looks perfect. Aggressive, yet not overly in your face. I’m not normally a massive fan of white cars, but the black splitter and alloys on this example really finish it off. Hmmmf…I might need to re-think the plan of a Ruf…this just looks cleaner, less in your face and, well awesome! I want!
