A very talented nailing of the Porsche mystique...

"It's not as prone to oversteer as earlier Carreras but the weight in the back reminds me of that time I saw Kim Kardashian standing up on a too-fast merry-go-round."
LOL.

Very funny, I love it when people put true effort into their CL listings.
As for the car, it seems to be very minty but man that's a lot of coin for a normal, (non-S), cabriolet. The light grey vinyl inside would be a deal killer for me, I'm picky about 911s. The market is strong for these. Or maybe it's just the locale where he is selling, $$ grows on trees up there. |

Golden Anniversary: 50 Years of The Porsche 911 - - Car and Driver Yes, 33 years ago in the pages of this magazine, I called the 911 an “ass-engined Nazi slot car.” I apologize. Not that the 911’s powerplant doesn’t loom behind its transaxle. And not that the 911’s progenitor, Ferry Porsche, wasn’t a utility infielder on the wrong team during the last World War. And not that a mistaken lift of a 911’s throttle won’t result in Aurora Plastics model-racetrack ess-bend behavior, except in 1:1 scale taking out the whole back wall of the hobby shop. Besides, to be precise, I was referring to a 930 Turbo, with love-handle fenders and looking like it had backed into a cocktail waitress and driven off with her serving tray. But I’m sorry. Thanks for posting the ad. Funny.

That man drops kernels of wisdom through his writing as freely as a fresh hot chololate dipped donut drops chopped peanuts on the ground.

Too bad it's a cab.
 I saw a coupe S in a parking garage in Japantown in SF with a 911 4ETS plate. Was going to leave my number but my wife said no... Yeah 57k is like MSRP. |

Evidence that it is a tad overpriced. It's still for sale: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/6051583334.html
