Should I buy this 917

I can't believe these can be had at such an incredible price.

That's simply hilarious. He actually refers to it as a Porsche 917 in the description. It's like walking down the street with a life-sized cardboard cut-out of Brad Pitt in front of you and trying to convince people that you are him.

I would jump on it, but I think that you'll need to go to a parallel universe to do it. The whole ad, car, and questions from other ebayers is pretty weird.

I love replica cars that only vaguely resemble the cars they are "supposed" to be. The huge Porsche emblem screams "I'm a fake and I have a small member"!

Yep.

The funny thing is that you can get into a real Porsche a lot less than building these fakes...

After the piece first went out, many American subscribers mentioned the film, A Christmas Story, which was based on the reminiscences of Jean Shepherd about his childhood in the 1930s. Henry Willis summarised the incident in which the expression appears: “At one point in the film one of his friends dares another friend, named Flick, to stick his tongue on the flagpole in front of the school on a snowy winter day. The kid who has been dared shows normal innate common sense until his friend ups the ante by double-daring then double-dog-daring him. At which point the movie’s narrator comments: ‘Now it was serious. A double-dog-dare. What else was there but a “triple dare ya”? And then, the coup de grace of all dares, the sinister triple-dog-dare’. At that point, of course, Flick has no choice but to accept the challenge with the predictably disastrous results”.
