WARNING, if you come see it, be prepared to bring your checkbook because this paintjob will make your knees weak and bring tears to your eyes. Simply the most incredible car that we have ever had at ANY PRICE!
It brings tears to my eyes......ROTFLMAO

Whoever did this to that poor car has way too much money and thinks way too much about themselves. IMHO.

Remember that movie Bachelor Party with Tom Hanks circa 1982? That reminds me of the "customization" of the targa in that show.

That car has been around the forum circuit for at least 2 1/2 years. BUTT-UGLY! It belong in a circus where they see how many people they can get in it!

Well, I spent the 5 bucks to get the history, and it's been thru 3 auctions in the past year or so. If anybody actually wants it I'll email it to them

Was this done by that "Pimp my Ride" show? Wonder what the reactions are of bystanders when one drives by in this thing. Maybe that's why it's been sold so often.

This car is the defintion of the term "fuggly".

In case "fuggly" has not yet made it across the pond, here's the decription:

Mix 1 part f**kin', with 1 part ugly, and there you have it.

even at $10k just factor in another 10k for a full repaint and voila a cheap 996!

I just looked at the photos, and promptly lost my lunch (dinner, actually). Never thought a car, much less a Porsche, would nauseate me so...

It actually looks worse in real life. This car was at the Stanford Concourse show a few years back (in the public parking lot that is). Folks were laughing and asking "Why" as they walked by. I actually felt kinda bad for the owner if he/she was in earshot.

I will say the quality of the paint craftsmanship was incredible. Someone put a lot of time into it.
