That was funny. Maybe get a gold-plated aftermarket "S" badge that is really an "$"

Nah, I think it's $10K..., er..., ah..., $7K well spent.

"If I were to guess, it would be Sport. It is most likely derived from the 'RS' variants (past and present) which stood for rennsport"

What does "Renn" stand for? Dictionary.com and Wikipedia don't list it. And a search on Google for "Renn" revealed fetish corsets on eBay.

On a 993 it means "superfluous" since there is no difference between the 993 narrow body and wide body varient engine.
