In the world of Porsche, Lobsters have forks. Or is it they have claws that hold forks? Or, is it that Porsche Lobsters don't have claws at all, but are born with forks?

You EAT a lobster with a lobster fork; a normal-sized fork that ends in two narrow tines. Like the spokes on a lobster fork wheel.

Cretins.

It is becoming evident that a lot of new folks here don't know what they don't know.

The Porsche 996 was a radical car that saved Porsche and was the last 911 that Dr. Ferry Porsche witness to go into production. This image with Pinky Lai (996 designer) was one of the last for Ferry Porsche. It's my understanding that he died shortly after the image was taken.

Actually, he died upon turning around and seeing the headlights. It was tragic.
