They did an awesome job of getting all the panel gaps correct. Stuttgart should be jealous.

I'm especially impressed with the engine detailing and the lack of ***** on the heat controls.. must have been just beyond the scope of the $120K that was spent on this mess......

No no, you've got it all wrong. Those heater ***** are way too heavy, think of the weight savings! Might be a good idea for your SC.

It was an ebay classic.. I don't think the links will work anymore and not sure how to search for the posts but it was absolutely freakin hillarious. It was abrownish colour and had little flaps that looked like gills, it had what looked like a impreza RS hood scoop on the roof and all kinds of other "goodies" we should start collecting pics of these and create a hall of shame :-)

I'd love to see his reserve...I would imagine it is something in between the "hilarious" and "ludicrous" range. My guess is if this guy really spent $120K on the car, he is certifiably insane and should take the money offered him now at $6100 and run.
