YM 2004 bought new. It's the only Carrera I've ever seen in a medium metallic brown. Beautiful car if it wasn't such a POS. Rides like you think it would- rough but tight. Kinda like driving a slot car only bigger. It was a babe magnet...that is when I had it and it wasn't torn apart. The only other car I had that was a babe magnet was an Excaliber. I had more women ask for rides in that than any car I've ever been in. But a Porsche, I don't think you can say Porsche and dependability in the same sentence positively.

Didn't Ford have something exotic like that? Pantera maybe? Iduno, haven't really followed those, I can't keep up for one.

Shifts pretty nice, it might just be me, but it sounds like something going break per shift? Iduno maybe not, nice car.

a local dealership had a yellow GT with black stripes down it, the guy said it was one of 500 or 700 something like that. it was awesome, didn't know why it was at a small town dealership though. the guy also talked about how many of the GT's had been wrecked at dealerships because people that work at them wanted to test drive them and didn't know how to drive a car with that much power.

I'd take those guys shorts before I'd take those cars... (washed per ebay standards)

At least his shorts are useful... those cars are not.

So there... I need new pants... er, I mean "used" shorts...

In 1971, I bought a used 1969 DeTomaso. It had the 427 side oiler in it with 6 dueces on top. Black in color with beige leather interior. I had the car a whole 2 weeks....hence, why I'm still alive. It was a monster car that could get you killed before you could say yer name. Incredible speed at the slightest touch of the foot feed. It was kinda like driving a AA Fueler on the streets. It was not a quiet or comfy ride either. The stereo was a decoration as you couldn't hear it even maxed out. While I can say I wished I still had it, if I had kept it, I wouldn't be here to type this. Far too much car for anybody with anything that resembles sanity.

Patman, I have a lady friend that drives an AMG. I'm not sure the model but it looks like the one in the vid. Great looking body too...and the car ain't bad either.LOL. Her husband drives an SLR. Both are in computer technologies. I shuda been a computer freak!

I agree, sounds magnified to me. Could be constrewed as some sort of objectified repository of the truth, -without pics that is.

Porsches are hands down the sexiest cars on the road. I would take a 911 Turbo or a GT2 over any other car today.
