YouTuber Salomondrin Buys 2017 Porsche 911 R, Is Locked in Trunk, Ruins Mileage

Porsche is still delivering the 2017 911 R to the lucky 991 owners, with Youtuber Salomondrin being the freshest online figure to grab one. Fortunately, Alejandro (this is the guy's actual name) used the clutch special to fight the garage queen path.

Fortunately, this is the second time in December when we're talking about a YouTuber who invites aficionados to actually enjoy their 911s - last time we discussed the topic, British YouTuber Mr JWW talked about putting 18,000 miles on his GT3 in nine months, despite also having a GT3 RS at his disposal.

Returning to the 911 R adventure we have here, we'll start with the price. Despite the window sticker talking about the rear-engined coupe not being for sale, we can talk about the price Salomondrin paid for the Zuffenhausen delight.

As you'll be able to see in the clip, the financial side of this Neunelfer was nowhere near the ridiculous prices mentioned in the recent speculation market tales.

So, what happened once Alejandro's crew picked up the three-pedal delight? Of course, they had to try and see if the drive can fit in the frunk, and with Salomondrin accepting the challenge, it was only a matter of time before he got locked inside the nose of his own vehicle.

However, the next part of the adventure is the one that put a smile on our face, as the guys headed for Vegas. This means the R got a break-in of at least 540 miles (make that 870 km) and, hopefully, it was a process that didn't include full throttle moments - at least when it comes to what we can see in the video, such moves were avoided.

Our world wide web gut tells us we'll get to see more and more vloggers taunting their market by actually driving their special cars and we'll be here, bringing you the news.
