Default Super-Cheap Porsche

While this is a 911-variant, you could do the same thing for a 928...

You might revise your headline after asking for a price quote for the sculpture from the artist. ;-)

If you think a 997 is expensive, ask the artist how much it would cost to have this cardboard and tinfoil diatribe against consumerism to sit in your garage.

My guess is that the 997 is cheaper--and more practical.

ahh, I love how pretentious art discussion can get. That fool just wanted a Porsche in his garage and needed a catchy story to justify it. If he unloads that thing for six figures, no question, he's going to buy a sports car, possibly the very same one (except real). Neat looking item though. Bet that thing sucks to drive what with all that weight and wind resistance.
