Is it just me, or is there something really stupid about this car?

Lowered to the bone in the front, quite high in the back? That could be fixed.

I am not crazy when people take pictures of their car wet, though. It always leaves a bit of a feeling they are trying to hide something.

Is it sitting over a pool of oil that has had straw used to soak it up?

The passenger side image shows straw sticking to the top of the tire, maybe it's just some construction debris, but there seems to be a big black area under the car.

What's your take?

Besides the fact that he's smoking crack on his price? Or that he shot it wet? Looks like maybe the door paint doesn't match. Radio is missing. What do you see?

He talks about special order seats and a custom exhaust, but none of the pictures show either one. Also looks like he took the pictures with the car all wet to give the paint some shine. Also those five spoke wheels look like Porsche units, but were they available in 16"? I thought they came in only 17 and 18"????

What did you catch?

Jim,
The wheels are 16" 5 spokes off 911's in the early 90s. They were also available on 968s

Looks like maybe 2 different sets of wheels - or on backwards.

Andrew spotted it, the wheels are reversed. The fronts look like they belong on back to me.

How about the $23 "invested" in it?

Now that seems pretty stupid to me.
