Better read this one quick before it gets taken down. Be sure to look at all of the pics.
Well, the ad is gone now. I wonder if it sold? We better not see that car running around KC with custom HIDs

Looks like it was done right.
I have seen that car a couple of times at the shop when my Box was in for service. Beautifully done! Probably not a bad price considering the amount of work put into it.

She had her car priced about 2X what it was worth, so she must have been proud of her 3day weekend offer. She obviously didn't complete her mktg deg since her last "Hilton Hotel" pic was horrifying.

Thought Particlewave would be all over that since he lives in the neighborhood.

An 8 cylinder FWD Porsche 911 for that kind of money - a rare beast indeed.:
I still wouldn't touch it with an 8' barge pole!

Surprised they didn't say they were moving to England and the steering wheel would be on the wrong side. Would add to the authenticity of the ad.

I'm more surprised it hasn't been flagged yet.

REDUCED 2000 Toyota MR2 spyder TRD edition convertibleVERY RARE $5000

Very rare, Toyota MR2 with 24 Porsche badges on it. The ad helpfully clarifies that it is not a Porsche, otherwise folks might get fooled.





etc...

Hahaha that provided a good laugh.

Why would anyone do this to a car? Why put fake emblems on a different model/brand unless its a kit which has reason.

This thing is quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

Oh wait, there is that one a few posts previous, and that one from a few weeks ago, and . . . . never mind. It does rate in the top 10 stupidest things I've ever seen however. I imagine if he did have a Porsche we would see Ferrari badges on it.

It is a tie with that bodykit monstrosity from the previous post.

If that MR2 really has a TRD body kit, suspension, etc... it is already pretty special. Why ruin it with Porsche badges...

The fact that he throws in two cans of quality red paint clearly seals the deal for me. Is there any possible place on the car left where he could have put another Porsche badge?

That is literally the poorest taste I have ever seen demonstrated, and that's quite an accomplishment.

On the badge monster.... Don't MR2s have a huge fan base? It's like rebadging a Miata, or a Jeep Wrangler. Pretty sure tons of people love and admire it already. Anyway, I'd be embarrassed to have that many Porsche emblems on a Porsche, much less on another vehicle entirely.

Wow. A salvage titled Frankenstein with a bazillion miles on it. And cheap too.
I'd bet the first quarter mile is fun though.
