Default Neat story

CrazyMD recently posted in a thread about paddle shifters, and mentioned, in passing, a link to an USA Today story which involved him. The link was bad, and didn't go anywhere. Since the story involves a 997, and the saving of a boys life, I thought I'd post up the link so people can read it. It's well worth your time. If this link is bad, just search the USA Today site and enter "Porsche turbo 911".

Great story. I feel bad for the kid, though. There's probably not going to be an ER doc within screaming distance the next time this happens.

There's no doubt that something bigger was in play here, the odds of having the right kind of doctor at the gas station at that very moment have to be as slim as winning the lottery. In this instance the boy won which is of far greater value. Nice story.
