Ran into this on one of the other forums. Thought I'd post it hear, because I know how everyone here loves stuff like this.

I like that he thought a Geo Storm front was a good advertising point. Nothing like a Porsche with good old GM parts.

Maybe you should email him, and tell him how bad you think his car is, and get his feathers all ruffled? Make certain that you give him the rennlist site address so that he can come on here and defend his work for 13 pages.

I bet it was a bar bet gone bad...

There's noexcuse for the sawed off steering wheel and use of Geo Storm parts! Someone had to have thought of this when he was really drunk and said "I wonder how gay I can make a Porsche look"...

I would have at least taken a swiffer and cleaned the inside before posting for sale pics....

Blegh!

The owner is looking to buy a Honda CRX, and unfortunately doesn't have the time or money to fix up the Platypus any more!
I wonder how nice of a CRX he could get with the $ he put into that thing, and if he flipped burgers instead of trying to make that thing.

cheaper to just save up and buy a decent car that will have some value when you want to dump it.

but he did learn how to shape fiberglass scoops on the side. that could be a very marketable talent.

LOL.

Well the orignal pic had the caption "Your A ***" across the bottom. I cropped that out to be politically correct.

But yeah...kind of even disturbs me sometimes. I'll eventually get bored and change it.

By the way...I love that he calls it the "Platipus" and there is music to go along with the ad.
