Probably more popular than ever, since Porsche starting putting soooooo much badging on the 991 series.

That's no lie! Other than "what year is it?" I get "is it a turbo?" most

To socalsteve: I think an austistic monkey could tell the difference. Even a blindfolded one. Of course, if you can't tell the difference then don't get it. Be back in a few minutes....just going out with Plutonium to get some more popcorn.

Re: badging. I thought "911 Carrera S" below PORSCHE was a little busy. I opted for the 911 only below PORSCHE with Carrera S in silver lettering at the bottom of the front doors.

This looks quite nice and isn't overkill.
