This can't be normal . . . can it??

So there I was spending a lazy Sunday afternoon surfing the web (it was way too cold and windy to be outside) and I came across the following photo. I have no idea how I got there as I was just searching the news sites .

When I first saw the photo, the first thing that popped in my mind was my '89 911 turbo. I am absolutely serious! That can't be normal right? I've been without the old gal (I'm talking the car here) for a few months now as I sold her prior to moving to DC. Perhaps the biggest mistake of my life!!

I wonder what Freud would say about this?

Yes it is. Apparently she is the new "J-Lo" as far as rear ends are concerned .

This got to be a U.S. model because of the bigger bumpers.

I'm pretty sure that qualifies as a 5mph impact bumper.....US model or not!

If the ass-end of my 930 looked that bad, I'd never have fallen in love.

If there is cheese in that bumper you should be running the other way..
