anyone knows if the wheels on Hammer's car have only one central lug nut or are the lug nuts there and I just can't see them in the pic?

Also, where do you think is the radio antenna?

They're covered by a center cap.

I really like that car, I'd buy it if I had the cash on hand. I don't see how 928 owners don't like the car. If it wasn't owned by MChammer perhaps people would like it more. What if Tom Cruise or the Terminator owned it! Seems more attractive don't it.

*cue the Christine Agulara music

</end losing it>

From an artist stand point the lines in the car are awesome! I like the wrap around spoiler built into the car. I'd love to 3D model this into a game.

Just another example of why MC Hammer went bankrupt, both financially and stylistically...

On the green Honda: I like how the seller had to post a "clarification" to his original statement that "the blower is fully funcional". Apparently someone pointed out to him that simply hooking up an fugly scoop to a little throttle body does not make a blower.

If I won the mega-lotto I would buy both and hang them on the walls of my summer palace as fine art.

I like it.

Other than the crappy looking interior...

It looks like it has been sitting with the top open in the sun too much.
Oh yeah, and the engine looks bad too.

But overall, the lines of the car are pretty cool.
And I like the fat rubber under there.

I usually do not like hard lines on the 928, but this one looks better than most.

I'll put it in my site!
It's worth inclusion...

I only remember one Porsche in a Hammer video. The video "have you seen her" he's driving a 911 Slant Nose Convertible.

The rear fender flares remind me of mc hammer's pants; way oversized for the package, and way dated. Did I say way? ...yep, I did. I mean like WAY.

hey hammer... if your reading this, why are you selling yo ride? Oh yea, I forgot. Broke huh?

One thing to say about Hammer. Atleast he spent his money on his family and friends and didn't blow it on drugs, and ghetto crap. Where is snoop dogs 928? How about anyone but Puff Daddy that isn't some drug, gun toating ghettor reject?

Hammer found God and is at peace with himself and I gotta respect that even if he is broke. He had all that money and power if even for a little while. Its something we'll probably never get to experience. Atleast he had the good taste to buy a 928 and phreak it out and not a vette, or ricer.

I wonder if it had a SC engine at one time, and it may have died, and was replaced with a Euro transplant, to get it running, so they could sell it...

It does seem a bit silly to have all that rubber, without a lot of power.

I'm sure those with the superchargers, trying to hook up their power,
would be happy to deal with some questionable looks, in excahange for some decent traction...

I'd say that's very possible, given that Koenig did offer supercharger kits along with the body modifications for the 928. One must believe that contacting Koenig with the car serial number (or may be just the customer's name) would clarify the history on the engine or anything else related to this car... may turn out to be a serious homework, worth the effort only to a serious buyer at a serious price
