The incident occurred on Gieger Grade in Storey County, where: - Speed limit was 45 mph, but the driver was estimated to be traveling at 80-85 mph - Driver swerved to avoid another motorist, struck a metal barrier, and went down an embankment - The 2016 Porsche Coupe was totaled - Driver was arrested for DUI and carrying a firearm while intoxicated - A passenger sustained non-life-threatening injuries[2] This unfortunate incident highlights that even the most capable vehicles have limits and cannot compensate for poor driver decisions. Remember to drive responsibly on public roads and consider the safety of other motorists. ### Porsche Considering Military Products In an interesting development, Porsche is reportedly considering a return to manufacturing military products to offset a potential financial loss. For those unfamiliar with the company's history, Porsche previously manufactured tanks and other military equipment.  Discussion points: - Would they offer Paint-to-Sample (PTS) for military vehicles? - Specialty weapons as optional upgrades? - Extended leather interior packages for tanks? ## Thank You to Our People We'd like to express our gratitude to all our listeners and supporters who tune in each week.
