Documented Porsche Abuse...when will it end

I know sometimes you have to beat the dog, or the kids or maybe even sometimes the wife.....but where do we draw the line? This P-car abuse has to end.


Please NO MORE !! I beg of you.

MAPA (Mothers Against Porsche Abuse) and international group was founded a number of years back.
Unfortunately due to International events it does not get the publicity that other things get.
Frankly its borderline genocide as I see it.

Aaaaaggghhh!

Kevin, let's do an intervention. No '73 911 coupe should suffer like that.

On a serious note:

How can you guys spot this as a '73 and not a SWB?

Maybe my screen's scrunched up.

I'm still working on my early and later- early 911 spotting.

TIA

Has anyone seen that silverish gray 911SC on ebay? The guy says that it is in good shape for a 24 year old car. The paint is pealing and it is rusting on the hood. Do a search on ebay for a good laugh and cry.
