there is a "new " Cayenne at the Riverside , Ca wholesale action. An S with 700 miles it probably will be run through again Thursday at the special Highline sale .

 

So soon? Somebody had eyes bigger than the wallet?

 

It is probably a Porsche dealer who thinks it might bring a premium or they simply have too many ??

 

Or someone who got fed up with trying to make it work.

 

You know, way back when, in Eastern Europe, there was an interesting individual named Vlad Tepes.

He had an even more interesting nom-de-guerre: He was commonly known as "Vlad The Impaler".

Well, he had a problem with anger management it seems. He got his "charming" nickname for his tendency to impale the dead bodies of people that he had killed in battle on long poles and bury the other end in the ground, so that the birds could eat the body. But he was also the worst kind of enemy: Not only did he want to kill you, but he wanted to make a statement while doing it. The impalements were taunts to his surviving enemies...

Pretty bad. Sometimes, I feel that Dracula [his later name~] had the right idea.

I felt that way the other day; I was with my girlfriend in Fort Lauderdale [Fort Liquordale?], and we took the water taxi for a tour of "Venice Of America". This fascinating little town is loaded with billionaires, and the water taxi takes you around town for $5/day, as many trips as you want- a fun way to get around and leave the shark in a parking garage. They go through canals that pass through the weathiest neighborhoods...I was drooling at the HUGE boats and she was drooling at the HUGE houses!

Well, it seems some people have more money than common sense. Wayne Huizinga, the magnate who started Blockbuster Video, Waste Managment, and AutoNation, bought a house along one of the canals. He also liked flying his helicopter around South Florida, keeping track of his investments and sports teams. Only his neighbors didn't care for the noise...and they complained to the city.

Problem: Your neighbors don't like something you are doing on your property.

Solution, Normy!-style: Talk to them, and come up with some sort of compromise. It is important to get along with the people you live next to.

Solution, Huizinga-style: Buy all the houses in the neighborhood for twice what they are worth, and give them to relatives as gifts. F*ck the neighbors, I'm rich!

YEAH WELL...Wayne is not the only one with more green matter than gray matter in Fort Liquordale it seems. I caught this shot of some clown washing his Cayenne with a 5 gallon bucket of water in front of his house....in BRIGHT sunlight! It even looked like he was using some sort of brush on the finish....

ANOTHER person who needs to be IMPALED!

N!

Ah, so that's where that stream of consciousness was leading, Normeister!

Was he any relation to Vlad the Inhaler? I knew that Vlad in college - he could bogart a spliff down to ashes in a single huff <img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" /> !

 

Here is even a better deal. A Cayenne S on eBay at $40k with NO RESERVE ($64,300 list). Similar, with only 700 miles or something.

What a steal !

 

tobinr:

What do you mean "928S" and "Animal Friendly". Are you saying you don't kill bugs? Or is the friendliness in how fast you kill them? Just kidding!

In regards to the Cayenne: I think they should have cleaned the rims before taking the pics - no?

Oh, now I get it: Rims dirty, get rid of the car and get a new, clean one. A rich man's world?

 

WOW talk about depreciation ....64K to 40 k in two months !! in a year maybe I could afford to buy one

 

Normy, are you sure he's washing the car/truck/wagon/whatever? Could the bucket be holding the fresh catch of the day? After all the Chili-wagon is a Sport UTILITY whatever...

 

Hey Nicole,

That's my actual license plate here in Texas. I kinda thought "Animal Friendly" was an interesting slogan for one of the baddest road animals, the 928... And there is nothing like being in the car behind me wondering why are there dogs and cats on the license plate of a Porsche.

Plus some money went to keeping defenseless animals from being Euthanized.

 

You got it wrong Normy,
That's the gardener cleaning his new "truck" the homeowner bought him to haul plants and tools and stuff.

 

Next year or maybe the next, when the hipe is over. The prices will be more reachable for us common folk. Like maybe 30k

I'm still looking for that poor sap who totals his Turbo Cayenne (hope he/she walks away). Why you ask?, The ENGINE of course. IF it doesn't fit in a 928, I'll make it fit in soemthing else!.

Peace -

 

You can keep that overgrown status wagon. I mean it looks like a steroided station wagon. I'd lay my money on an Audi S wagon long before that thing.

4.5 liter twin turbo V8? Hmmm, sounds like my engine.

The thought of paying someone to wash my car for me like that is crazyzess I tell you. This is where the enthusiast and those who are status hungry are determined.

If Porsche has their way we will all be driving Boxsters and parking them next to Cayennes. I swear thay have raised prices so much on parts in the last two years. I'm sure some marketing genius has figured if they do this, eventually we will get rid of our old jalopies in favor of a shiny new Boxster. Gee I can hardly wait.

 

John,

That overgrown status wagon on steroids really ***** and gets. I test drove one of the TTs in Anchorage a couple of weeks ago and was really impressed with how it handled and accelerated for as heavy as it is. 96k is still a little too steep for me though. I'll wait like the others for a used one and hopefully not abused.

Ps: I think I'll retire now before I become a "Specialist" and everybody starts assuming I know what I'm talking about!
