Walking into the gym this afternoon, I spotted this parked out front. Pretty stunning, right?laugh

And I either found the same car for sale on Marketplace, or else there are somehow two of these things in the world.

That rear just hasn't aged well to me.  Maybe it's better in silver.

 

Edit - or it's not a real one.

Oh, it's definitely not a real one. It's a 986 Boxster underneath.

I hate to be crass but that's what I call a one gener.  You know when someone has all the genes to be a very good looking person but one gene just screwed it up.

This is what happens when you order a Porsche Carrera GT from wish.com cheeky

Just needs some long-arm suspension to go with the widebody...

Is it wrong I don't hate it? That wheel gap is brutal, but it's interesting the rest of the way.

Yeah apart from needing suspension and wheels that fit the body, it's not terrible...except maybe at the rear. The rear looks worse the longer I look at it.

Yeah, from the front it could totally work with a better wheel and tire package.

From the rear, uh, yeah... maybe just back it into parking spaces so people don't look at the rear.

I'm confused by the "sleekness"  of the rear view mirrors!

If anybody could explain why in the trailer park I like this I'd be thrilled.

Also saw that on the way into the gym. Spent most of my workout trying to spot the criminal responsible for it.

The first real one I saw was leaving Meijer in Grand Rapids.  Same place I see most of the cool cars, making a milk run.

Vector, and Bentley SUV as also ran notables.

The real deal is gorgeous.  

Sorry for the crappy picture.  I was too focused on drinking in the shape that I neglected to take a proper photo.
