Angry Wife Selling Husband's Race Car - Custom Built Porsche 996RS

Angry Wife Sale
Tired of this taking up space in my garage. Great car, super fast - I have tons of pictures. I want it gone! Custom built from the ground up! My husband has put more money into this than in our house! Serious buyers only please. I can give you all the specs if this is your dream car. Use it to promote your business, it would look great wrapped - idea to talk your wife into letting you have it!

How would she know so much technical info about it?
Sounds like some guy using a sells gimmick to try and pawn off his money pit.

I agree, written by a guy. And it's not a 996. It's 996 body work on an air-cooled chassis probably with an air-cooled engine. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but not for $40K.
