Post Unknown Thingy on Ebay Car

Does anyone know what the thingy is behind the steering wheel - some little box with switches? Rocket launchers??? Undercarrige and licence plate neon lights??? What is it and do I need one?

<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6432&item=2415592598" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6432&item=2415592598</a>

Other observations: power antenna stuck in mid rise, back wiper in odd position, sheepskin seat covers (hmmmm, trashed seats?)

Too bad there's no Porsche crest stickes on the car anywhere. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

I think it's a modem... so that the driver can keep track of all of their Rennlist messages !

Maybe it is the German's form of the "Flux Capacitor"

Hi Beth,

That is a must have accessory. It activates various helicopter and jet boat modes.

Cloaking device. Its definitely a cloaking device. It turns your car into a blue mini van, complete with kids and a yellow Lab in the back.

I think that's either a rocket launcher, afterburner switch, or ejection seat controller. My guess is that it controls the afterburner, since the rpms are already at 3000 at 0 mph.

Either way, "youl love it!"

Beth,

This is sans doute the best thing for the beast. Try it. You'll like it. This is the best investment I ever made for my shark! See:

Sorry Beth, Black Labs were only available after 1985. If it helps, I think you could get a black Shih Tzu though .

I guess being a woman I wouldn't understand the "thingy" anyways. I'd need a man to explain to me. I think I'll go do my nails.

You must understand, just as there is female "code", so there is male.

When a guy say "it's a manly thing", he doesn't have a clue what it is.
