I think that was done by the fiat factory cause we all know...It's better to be a Porsche than a Fiat.

He didn't want it to look like all those other 124's on the road. I must have seen 25 of them today driving into work.

That's really odd.

Better would have been a prancing horse on the front, Lambo bull on the back and "P O R S C H E" down the side.

It's real easy to get those stickers off... I think you just found the autocrosser Sidney's been looking for.

So if I put Porsche decals on my Land Cruiser, can I advertise that it "looks like a Porsche"?

Chicks with big boobs (and low I.Q.s) dig it!

That is what really matters.

My bid is in.

Often times "low I.Q's" mean lower maintenance....
Got any phone numbers?

Maybe.

Would you be willing to paint it Sub-lime green, put new spark plugs in it so it would get 34-36 MPG, and sell it for $1400?

I think so too. Can't you see Sidney sitting in it, revving it, ready to make a tail-out autocross run?

Come on, Sidney, you know you love it. RWD is the way to go, man.

It would cost more to ship it to Oklahoma that that thing is worth. I can't imagine driving it to Oklahoma from there.

Says the guy that Made the OK to Alabama run 3 times in a week in a 914.

I think I will stick to my hunt for a GTI.

I have my 124 spider advertised for sale.
It's not as cheap as the one advertised above, but then again it doesn't look like a 914.
