Money doesn't mean you have good taste

Check out this fugly 911: Porsche : 911 - eBay (item 160531094144 end time Jan-18-11 15:36:49 PST)

It's sad, just sad, to see a car ruined like this.

My eyes are bleeding in technocolor!!

Another way to say it is, "You can't buy taste" or for this dood - renting it would probably be out of the question too.

I bet the guy is color blind and was going out on his wife. When she found out, she volunteered to put a real masculine interior and paint scheme on it as her anniversary gift to him.

Gotta love the description in the E-Bay listing:

"Gorgeous, Sleek, One of a Kind, Great Condition, Head Turning..." - Must turn your head so you don't throw up on yourself when viewing this car.

"This car has been kept indoors, rarely driven, and is truly unique." - I would keep it hidden too.

"The Paint Job was professionally done by Dangerous Curves." - Can you imagine the conversation between customer and shop in preparation for this paint job?

"The car also come with a Custom Cover." - It freakin better come with a cover. You could put your eye out if you look at it too long.

"Car is garaged 95% of the time and is rarely driven...but when it is Everyone Notices." - In other words, this car never sees the light of day, is only taken out at night under a new moon and fat chicks dig this car.

"Let's talk, the car is priced to sell to someone who knows how to take care of their toys." - Let's talk about your medication and when the last time you had your eyes checked.

Umm...have you seen his Z3, Lexus and Fiero? All with the same "Bob Marley" theme. This guy is local...an ESL insurance/financial advisor.

Just because you do not like a wild paint job does not mean others may enjoy the wild Gemballa (Cyrrus) look.

I've advised him a dozen times to paint it or reduce the price to accomodate a paint job and he looks at me like I'm crazy. He thinks it's the best looking thing since Cindy Crawford...

Look, I've been a member of this forum for a long time, and I love my car. I've spent a lot of time and money making this car a beautiful example of the era from which it came. Why do you guys have to rip on my car? Some of you guys don't even own Porsches, and I don't feel you need to be rippin' on my car. If you want to change the paint job, buy my car, and paint it.

No respect. No respect at all.

Priceless.

One of those moments where maxing out the credit card didn't turn out to be the answer after all.
