Why don't they call the police and run the plates?

Before I saw the pictures I thought it may have been a 996, which would have made sense.

The car has to be registered to someone somewhere...

I do love my car, and have thick skin so all is good. My best friends have 964's, Cayman's and a 68' 911R conversion. We have a great time driving each others cars and comparing them. By the way p-daddy that is one great looking car. Are those 996 carrera 5 spoke wheels?

Registration sticker on plate expired in 2001 and inspection sticker expired in 2009. There must be a story behind it.

Gotta love Laker.

I agree on the red car, and I hate red cars. But that is a really great looking car.

BTW, there was an 80's era Targa in the City owned garage where I used to park with about a half inch of dust on it. We have a lot of wealthy Mexicans who have bought 2nd / 3rd / 4th etc. homes here, so I didn't think it's that unusual. One might have bought the car and parked it for use here on visits or upon retirement, and just never got to that point yet.

However, the broken tail light in the ad causes a little concern.

It belongs to Eddie Murphy, who's waiting for Nick Nolte to spring him from the hoosgow.

Sorry for the cheap-shot, just a little air/water cooled ribbing.



Would seem Wilmington Delaware is a very Porsche-safe city
