I'm very upset this isn't a "New car, with pics!" thread.

Edit: Though still a great article.

Sorry about that. You can right click on the pics on the site and save them as your background if that makes you feel better.

It is unbelieveable that this car is 21 years old.

Good timing on this tread, I saw one last weekend at a local dealers service bay. I thought it must be a clone, but it is the real deal. Stunning car, looked new, 5k on it. Brought in for service from Saudi Arabia. I guess the owner couldn't find Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen...no pictures allowed. I'll be better prepared next visit

Is it just me, or is anyone annoyed by the fact that someone would mod a 959 beyond what is absolutely necessary to get it legal in the U.S. To me, that's like buying the mona lisa and then having someone paint bigger **** on it.
