If you want to buy it I'd be happy to fly over to Malibu and drive the car up to you.

I shared a road with one in Roswell a month or 2 ago. Real or not, they are really cool cars. I would love one.

Looks very well done, but it kind of bothers me to have the "Porsche" badging and insignia on a replica. Had I built it I would have left it unadorned.

What are the specs on something like this? More specifically the weight of the car. It sure looks like a fun toy.

Seems kind of pricey for a replica.

I know a guy in my town who had/has a similar car, I'll have to remember to ask him what he paid for it.

Zesty?

You need this warning on that car!

We were thinking about putting a little sticker that says "Adult Supervision Required" but that would negate me driving it!

We've got 12,000 miles on this now. I think 11,800 are mine even though it's Steve's car. I just can't help myself. I walk out to the garage to get something and it speaks to me. It says naughty naughty things... Next thing I know, the keys are in my hand...

Oh and hi Paul! Hoped to run into you at Parts Obsolete. We drove Steve's cabby up and I had the 4-door jeep (I was working in Washington). Was going to let you take a much funner jeep drive than the sales guys will allow!
