When Porsche dropped the manual gearbox for the second-generation Cayenne, the move seemed only normal, but we're here to show you a painful scenario where a stick shift might have been the only chance the poor Zuffenhausen SUV in the clip below would've had to escape.
Perhaps a manual would've prevented the teenager behind the wheel from borrowing his mom's car while she was out of town. We are, of course, trying to lighten up the mood and once you'll check out the footage, which shows a parking job that can easily pass as the gruesome torture mentioned in the title, you'll understand us.
The teen reportedly grabbed the keys to his mother's Cayenne, taking the Porsche for a joyride. The adventure predictably led to the no-license driver bumping into a parked car.
The crash, which took place in Vancouver, on West 32nd Avenue, between Oak and Grandville streets, turned into a hit and run when the youngster tried to run away. The teen panicked, aiming to put the Porsche inside the family garage and close the door.
This is a bad story gone worse
Unfortunately, the failed parking attempt turned into a process that saw the Cayenne being shoved into the garage sideways, with the desperate teen going back and forth multiple times in his quest to cover things up.
The family's neighbors caught the painful (the screeching soundtrack is probably the worst part) ordeal on camera, with the clip eventually reaching the police. With the license plate clearly visible in the footage, the amazingly lousy driver will now have to face the long arm of the law, even though he's not facing criminal charges.
This is one family memory that probably won't make it into the album, even though it could successfully be framed in the hall of shame.
