Zero to Jail in 3.5 Seconds

In Newark earlier this year a brilliant young man decided to carjack an expensive Porsche 911. Brandishing a gun, he ordered the driver out, and hopped in.

He then promptly stalled the 480-hp turbocharged engine... the engine with the six-speed transmission... the six speed manual transmission... the transmission type that Our Hero had never learned how to drive.

Unable to get the car moving, and with police approaching faster than he was departing, he bailed out of the car.

Despite having a high-powered sports car at his disposal only moments earlier, he was captured after a brief foot chase.

Result? He now faces up to 15 years in prison.
