I wonder how this will be disclosed to the buyer?
Not that it hasn't been publicized.

That wasn't a little mistake. A slow roll forward would have bottomed it out on the frame behind the front wheels. With all that weight in the back, it would have to have had some grunt behind to go that far.

Maybe it is just the angle, but what's all that black stuff on the wall underneath it?

If only he had downshifted properly that could have been avoided.

Its a lot of work and seems kind of sacrilegious to do to such a beautiful street car!

Eat a "space cake" instead. Smoking is bad for you. But either way that beautiful Porsche is going in the river.
