Meet the man known on YouTube, Twitter and his personal blog as Pkilla617. Boston resident, aspiring rap artist, self-proclaimed marijuana and stripper enthusiast, and apparently, a former employee at the Boston Autoport, where he had access to a slew of brand new cars as they come into the harbor. We don't know his real name, how long he worked at the Autoport, or when he was terminated.
But what has some of the people over at M5 Post rankled is that Pkilla617 had a habit of shooting himself revving the new cars right after turning them on, then putting the videos out on his Twitter and YouTube page.
BMWs weren't the only targets. The Boston Autoport in Charlestown processes some 70,000 cars a year for import and export, so we also get to see him rev a new Subaru BRZ, a Maserati, and a Challenger R/T, just to name a few.
But the BMWs, particularly M cars, seemed to have been his favorite targets. (Not that anyone can blame him for that.) He even lamented the fact that one frozen gray M3 comes in rev-limited transport mode, but he still redlines it and records the sound.

Anyone else feel if this was their car they would be totally pissed?
This guy seems to unload or move the cars after they come to Boston.

Are you all kidding me? You elitist hyper-consuming pigs.
You all should be ashamed.
Here is a guy that did nothing more than convey his respect for the vehicles.
If what he did was so damaging then BMW would put a few licks of code in the firmware to limit over revs.
Instead of spending 5 minutes training the guy, people are celebrating the loss of his job.
I suspect these machines were a bit out of his reach for the time being and now they are even more out of his reach.
So the celebrators are patting themselves on the back that this poor guy---legally supporting himself---is now jobless because he did little more than celebrate their machines.
You all should be ashamed. If only your bosses held you to the same standard you are holding him.
What has this world come to!
