Default Porsche Profile . . .

I saw this on a local gas station pump screen as I was filling up. It just goes to show you how ubiquitous the Porsche's profile is. Kinda cool !

I've seen those images as well - typically in NC. Unfortunately, the screen has two glaring mistakes: The gas tank for a 911 is not in the rear and Malboro is not spelled with two "L"...

Intentional?

Actually, it's either a 930 or 911 Carerra with the M491 Turbo Look wide body option. You can tell by the black stone guards on the fenders and the spoiler.

Exxon stations in my area have it on their screens and I personally think it is a crappy rendition of any 911.
