Default It started life as a 964, I think

super fat rear, coach leather, projector beam headlights, 2 inches off the ground, driver has matching shirt and his dreads in a due rag. somehow I snapped the picture on my cell phone on my way to work and just E-mailed it to myself. This is going to unleash a whole new world of pictures for you guys. enjoy

Heck, looking at the website they could be a site sponsor, but, with the 707 area code, what happens in Vegas, should stay in Vegas.

PIMP MY TARGA!

My 81 SC might be worth 90K once I install and paint it all up?!

Seriously, that thing is past REDline on my Tachy-O-meter!

Actually, he drove pretty normal cars, as far as Ferraris go.

How you twist my words to be a swipe at 993's is beyond me. Follow me on this:

1. I observe that it looks like it is a 993 instead of Doug's assessment that it started as a 964.

2. The Strosek's aesthetics are not to my taste, a bit over the top for most P-car owners, I think. Hence the suggestion that this is why Corvettes are sold, as a tongue in cheek slam on the whole gold chain/over-the-top bling-bling car crowd.

Take it easy on the poor guy Ed, he clicked pn the wrong button and ended up down here with us bottom feeders, least we could do is be polite till he leaves....then slam on him once his green light goes out.




SSSSSsssshhhhh(he may still be looking)
