Default Is this guy smoking crack?

Or, more importantly, was he when he ordered the yellow wheels?

By way of dislaimer, I actually find the car to be pretty cool. Not my style, but awesome nonetheless. Cobalt TTS = brilliant. But the price... oh boy.

Not necessarily crack. Could be a variety of narcotics in his pipe.

That dudes not afraid to be different. Sadly I quite like it.
That price is more of the crack smoking after effects though.

The car's owner also owns Park Place Ltd. As far as I know, he loves the car and doesn't really want to sell it. So, he's actually counting on someone out there that does smoke crack to pay that much for the car.

Whatever it is, I sure don't want any. Sometimes I'm embarrased enough at the things I've done to mine...

It's the spoiler isn't it. I know I can see the temptation to upgrade to the GT2 spoiler.. but why WHY. That melted chocolate curve is my favourite part of the cars looks! I don't even like the turbo S. Do you know how few turbo's seem to have the original non S spoiler fitted now!! What have you all done.

U failed to mention the name of the writer/author! of the description, alias Stoned Head :-)

"Seller's Description and Comments
A quick glance at what the employees here at Park Place drive will reveal various BMWs, Mercedes, the odd Alfa, Muscle Cars, Porsches of various vintages - the wide variety of cars you would expect from a large crew of car enthusiasts. But what is the one car that everyone from the lot porters to the detail shop experts to the ASE Technicians to the experienced sales staff to the president of the company wishes they had? A 993 Turbo S. Well, the President does have one, and its this car! He is one of the lucky 187 people that Porsche let order one new and he had it finished in stunning Cobalt Blue Metallic over blue leather. He had the wheels and seat backs painted Speed Yellow for an even more unique look and the car has been one of his prized possessions ever since. It has been on display here in our showroom but has also seen use on road rallies and sunny summer days as the odometer would indicate. This is a very special car that is worth seeing even if it is simply to say you have seen one of these rare. This vehicle has a 3.6L H6 Bi-Turbo engine and a manual transmission. It includes All Wheel Drive, Carbon fiber interior trim, One Owner From New, 420hp, Litronic Xenon Headlamps, Yellow-backed Sport Seats, Yellow Wheels, One of 187 Made, and Spoiler."

I assumed he isn't really trying to sell it, but wow.

No yellow face gauges, I am disappointed. Price point is enough to make you wanna grab for the defibrillator though. 'lets go with 350 this time and try again.' beeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppppp
