Naples, FL: They call it the tune-up to the tune of $50,000.  A Naples auto mechanic who took a client’s 2008 Porsche for a “diagnostics” test run flipped the car at 164 mph as he took it around a curve.  Kenneth Kasten, 50, walked away without a scratch, the Florida Highway Patrol reported.  But, he was charged with reckless driving and leaving the scene of a crash, and he has to make good on the damages.  Kasten got one break — he was not charged with theft, since the owner technically gave him the car when she dropped it off for service.
