"Unmolested"...really?

Unmolested? Well, yeah, except for the body, engine and tranny.

Porsche 911 Turbo Look 3.2 G50

And if this car belongs to a Pelican, I truly mean no offense... I respect hard work.

Yea, well I don't mean any disrespect either but modifying a '72 Targa longhood... well, to each his own I guess. My next goal is to build a '72 hotrod. I just love the lines on the early cars and I see no reason to modernize them.

can't think of any part unmolested. this car just reenforces my dislike for cabs and targas. Ya think the did some bracing or just cut off the targa bar?

Unmolested, in this case, means he didn't have sex with it.........i think.

That, or to him it's just a feel good catch phrase he liked the sound of and thought that he would hijack it.


unmolested - definition of unmolested by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
Quote:
un·mo·lest·ed (nm-lstd)
adj.
Not interfered with, disturbed, or harmed.
interfered - check

disturbed, - check

harmed - check

Maybe he meant to say "molested"?

Which video?

I watched the first one, starts right up and sounds pretty good. Looks better than my car, so I'll just shut up and let someone buy the thing.

The grammar police have had their day, and a good laugh was had.

How is poking fun at someone who does not know what he is talking about "Porsche owner elitism"? If I was fool enough to say that a heavily modified car was "unmolested", I would expect to be hammered on (deservedly so)!

And that goes for any car. Porsche or not.

There is another video of him doing a burnout on the craigslist ad.

Not exactly a burnout. That's a max performance launch on what sounds like a slippery surface.

Unmolested was a poor choice of words, but maybe English is not his first language. For the most part, it looks like he's trying to be forthcoming in his add.

Also, if I were a betting man, I'd say this car is but another example of the many longhoods that were converted to the later look in the 70's and 80's. It was common in those days. The early cars were mostly just thought of as old, dated, and tired in those days.

You guys are a tough crowd. Elitist DOES come to mind.
