"Custom" exotic Porsche on E bay

Here is the

link on e bay


It's a 3 seater





It's not that bad looking, but the price? anybody know the deal on this thing?

Is this the same person making the jet propelled wings?

(I asked my wife about that one, she said "No")

Already posted yesterday. Looks like a 2nd abortion in the background.

wow.... Not crazy about the chubby look. It looks like a lot of work went into it. It also looks heavy. All those reinforcements/ hinges must weigh a ton. From the low rez pics looks like a decent job. I'd like to see the rear.

The track is immediately recocnizable to me as Mt. Tremblant in Quebec, Canada. There is a guy in Montreal that has been customizing 928's there as seen in the background. I take it the Boxster is their creation as well.
Being originally from Canada, we know that people in Quebec definetly do their own thing regardless what anyone thinks or says. Some things are cool, others are...as is said... "french".
Before the Quebec Pelicans flame me, let me say that Montreal is one of my favorite cities, in fact I'm going up this w/e. Tremblant is an awesome track and the food is great anywhere you go. The French are lively and love to party with plenty of Molson.

I actually like.
Porsche should make one that weighs 2400 lbs powered by a 360hp 3.4 for under $50k.
They'd sell like hotcakes.

"Before the Quebec Pelicans flame me,..."

- What about the Louisiana Pelicans (The Pelican State!); the French Pelicans, the Algerian Pelicans...

Looks like yer typical Francaphone Canadien... unemployed.

I really like the side impact door panels. I wonder what other safety features were removed or disabled to create this 'character vehicle'...

Is a character vehicle like a character house? You have to be a 'character' to live there...

A Francophone is a pay phone that only accepts French coins.

That is very very funny. I would never have guessed that and have never heard it before.

Georgia? Dixieophone?

The Grill of this car looks like one of the extra's from the animated movie "Car's". And, no, thats not a good thing.
