I eat, sleep, breathe, and dream Porsche. If I win this book I can read it too!

I think that I should win a copy of this book simply because I do not yet know enough about the beautiful piece of machinery that I own! I just can't seem to find the information that I need all in one place. I would like to just have that one book to rely on!

I have loved Porsches from the time I was 6 years old and someone bought me a Revell type plastic model of a Carrera. You know how the cover art never matches what your model ends up looking like - I loved the way the car looked on the model's box and became a Porsche lover at an early age.

I would like to have a copy of the book to read on the train during my daily communute to Boston - great books make the hour trip seem to go by in 5 minutes.

Thanks!

Yee Haaaaa! My nefarious plans for world domination continue unabated!

PM on the way!

Oh, and thanks for the book. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to start scouting locations.

Divot sent you $45.00 USD Transaction ID: b10wM3Uba5ta3d

Dear 911SLOW,
Just thought you'd like to know Divot Enterprises sent you $45.00 USD.

Get the details

Once you've received the payment, you can:

Spend the money online at thousands of stores that accept PayPal.

Withdraw or transfer it to your bank account (takes 2-3 days).
Don't see the money in your account?
Don't worry - sometimes it just takes a few minutes for it to show up.



Congrats!

The bidding well exceeded the list price just for the opportunity to torment our oppressors.

If I was lucky enough to win this fine book, I'd read and enjoy it a few days, sign it with a small note, and then mail it to another Rennlister to enjoy and do the same. Maybe after a few years it will circle the globe!

Easy with other people's windfall, Mr. 99%er. We're not talking about ex-wives here.

Muhahahaha. Some people will be working overtime after today's delivery.

Seriously, this is a great book. I've worked in book publishing for years, and this is a first rate publication. Content, binding, paper, full color pics on most pages, everything. A real plus to add to your library. It is the coffee table edition of Porsche 911s, and will have a revered place on my display case (when not traveling to exotic locations.) I have no idea how the publisher can make a dime with production cost vs. sales price.

Now back to my plans for world domination.
