He neglected to tell her it needed a brake job, new tranny, alternator, the passenger side power window crapped out a couple of years back...

...Hmmm...I guess I should be thankful that some inner voice told me not to buy one a few months ago that some guy was selling for $1k. It looked nice - good paint job, interior was pretty good. Rather have one with a rear engine.

It probably only needs about $10,000 in parts to make it drivable.

Which is $9000. more than ANY 924 is worth!

some people really do tip like that. "just because"
i had a guy in a bar i worked at ask me what was the largest tip i had ever made. when he left, he doubled it.
fortunately for me, a few days earlier i had sold a guy 2 bottles of Dom and got a 40% tip on it..

From what I recall, that thing was a real pig. What did it have for an engine? Wasn't it a warmed over Audi 4 banger or something?

It doesn't get better than this. The Porsche 962.

I think you are right. Porsche did doll up some of them as 924 turbos with 944 style fender flares. Quite rare.

The 924 was a real black-eye for Porsche though.

Yuck, those are the cheap ones. She should sell if for a few thousand bucks and get rid of a headache. Because that car is going to nickel and dime her forever.

"I was just sitting there in the restaurant and looked her in the eyes and saw an angel and. . . ."

That's when it reached the tipping point.

You mean the back Porsche?

The front Porsche is not bad, either.

Ahem...Porsche is a two syllable word and the "e" is not silent...Por-SCHE
If you can't pronounce the name, you are forbidden from driving one.

I will be in Sweden for two weeks starting Tuesday. I wish this guy had kept the car a little longer and given it to me, so I wouldn't have to rent one. My eyes are rather angelic, too.
