Question What the hell??

Just a small quizzy thing! Does anybody know what this is?


I have more details for you:


Isn't it a waiste of 911? Although that is of course subject to taste.

It's a tragedy, that's what it is. Looks like something out of 1980's Miami Vice wanna be... bet the owner has lots of chest hair though.. Har har

Well according to the information the wheels are Gotti's: front wheels are 9Jx15 with 225/50 tires and rear wheels are 13Jx15 with 345/35 tires??? Know I don't know a lot about tire sizes but 345/35 ?

Hey, I have a lot of chest hair. And back hair.

But my car sure as hell doesn't look like that.

I have 345/35-15s on the back of my '78SC w/930 flairs. I like 'em.

My only question for the above car: where is the wing? Went to the trouble of creating the exotic look, but no wing?

I think the owner avoided the use of a rear wing to preserve the pure lines of the 911.



Best,

"Do anybody know what this is?"

Well, its:

A pathetic waste of time and money.

A way of lowering resale value.

A way to produce hilarity among your fellow Porsche owners.

A way to project a bright red "Hey look at me! I'm a stoopid ****wit!" self image on anyone who drives it.

A real swine to resell.

A really stinking waste of a once rather beautiful car.

Hummmmm. Now all it needs is a V8 conversion and a pair of furry dice to hang from the interior mirror.

TireRack carries the Yoko 285-15s. Can't recall off hand if any other manufacturer still puts out that size.

Cool

OK I will no longer keep you all in the dark. The car shown has a 1994!! Foger ultra wide-body conversion kit.

Does this mean that people did pay money to have their 911 molested like this? I tought it was the work of the evil mother in law!

And you know what, the top can still be opened!
