it's already a rare car... if you're the asshole that does that to one of the nicest cars in existence, you better be prepared to donate like 10 more of them to the honda museum.

he could be doing the same thing in a $500 car, chances are he would be doing it better! up north we have a saying "the fastest cars on the dirt are the cheapest!" here's proof

http://jalopnik.com/5497042/how-a-50...yline=true&s=i

why rally a $100 000 car when you could rally 100 $1000 cars? unless of course you dont have to pay for them...

Maybe it's the owner's beater car? I don't see a problem with it either.

Too bad the real cost of the car is not $500.

Just another guy who's "not rich enough to afford an extra STi or EVO"

Similar to those who insist on driving their Porsche 911 in the snow and got stuck, who's "not rich enough to afford another Cayenne for winter"

Running cars like these on dirt isn't anything new. Porsches are regularly used on dirt rallies. 911s make runs up Pike's Peak all the time and the 959 did a few Paris-Dakar races in its day.

Maybe it's just me, but I think that as long as you're enjoying the car, then the car has served its purpose. Nothing good can last forever anyways, if you don't enjoy your car now, your grand kids will abuse it down the road!!!

That said, I personally wouldn't be doing that to my own car, but hey if I could afford it, why not!

The point is, he can do whatever he wants with his car, and he will give no fuck about what others (99% of those can't afford an NSX anyway) say.

Why are you guys so surprised? The Porsche 911 has been used in dirt rallying for decades.
