The most repulsive thing...
 
Someone ought to put this abomination out of its misery... It is actually painful to look at this!

"Carrera GT Project Car"

I was looking for a Boxster S and stumbled across this... :barf:

Holy Smokes Batman - that's awful!

Now that the GT is "mission accomplished", he will be starting the Mclaren SLR project as the poor black Benz (lurking from the background) awaits its impending doom. :eek:

Those tail lights are hot . . . . . . not :barf:

What a waste of a car. They would have a better chance parting the car out than trying to sell it like that. The motor alone should get some good money.

bull27 08-28-2006 09:22 AM

oh my goodness..................its almost hard to believe that "thing" exists

Marc Gelefsky 08-28-2006 09:25 AM

They.....cut.... the...roof...off...a 996 coupe! :mad: :confused:

CJ_Boxster 08-28-2006 09:28 AM

feel sorry for the new buyer, he'll probably be tricked into thinking that all it needs is alittle paint but infact it has alot of body fitment issues.

Racer-x 08-28-2006 09:29 AM

Pretty awful, huh?

I say we torch it.



....uh, ok, by "we" I mean "you", but hey...

boggtown 08-28-2006 11:43 AM

Ok, I will give them credit, it probaly took a lot of time and effort to do a job that "well". Other than the fact of the whole car is a lump of bondo, what really "grinds my gears" is the fact they were so lazy and stupid they put a "gt" symbol from a mustang on it after the original carrera. It just reminds me of ransom notes that are cut from magazines and stuff. I give the effort a 7 and the skill a 7, but they just failed at the concept.

SD987 08-28-2006 12:36 PM

I think the guy's feedback is a pretty good indicator...

KronixSpeed 08-28-2006 12:46 PM

Lol..........omg

derb 08-28-2006 02:27 PM

Not sure what's worse- the car or his spelling.
I think if he tried to use spell check his CPU would probably catch fire from 'to mutch werk'.

As Bart Simpson once said: That's Craptacular!


Ok, the car is worse.

Adam 08-28-2006 09:49 PM

The interior and seats look pretty good. The rest..well...not so much.

Brucelee 08-29-2006 05:51 AM

Now, without the roof, the car will likely implode on itself once driven on the street. Hence, a wicked liability lawsuit in the making.

Is this the dumbest thing you have ever seen?

If not, it must be a close second.

Aye, Carumba!

Hey, that could become the newest diet fad! Take one look at those pictures, and lose your appetite for hours! :barf:

TheTicket1 08-29-2006 06:15 AM

IT WAS PURCHASED AS A SALVAGE TITLE : 2000 COUPE 996 WITH 6 SPEED, INVOLVED IN THE LEFT SIDE COLLISION. THE CAR WAS ONLY 2 MONTHS OLD. ALL THE BODY IS MADE OFF FIBERGLASS MOLDED INTO THE ORIGINAL INNER STRUCTURE OFF 996.

I think it is coming along fine for a 6 1/2 Year Project !!!

I think I will inquire about the shipping cost.

oliverg 08-29-2006 10:50 AM

I just threw up all over my keyboard. What was done to that car is actually explicitly prohibited in the Geneva Convention (in the cruelty to humans section)

:cool:

LOL :cheers: spot on guys... You know the most awful thing? Some little boy, perhaps about how old each of us was when we first fell in love with a 911, is gonna see that putrid thing and think it's the Carrera GT from his video game... and fall OUT of love with Porsche. Ok, too far? Maybe, but come ON! :barf: I don't know if raggin on this knucklehead/knucklehead's creation is going to get old... haha, until then: :ah:

"To each his own" -BULLCORN!

"To each his own" is a phrase we see too often... and I for one do not believe in statements like that.

Take this car for example... it is ugly, and if you disagree, you are wrong -no, you are incorrect. This car PROVES that it is possible to have an incorrect opinion!

I bet the seller even thinks "maybe this was a mistake... I'll just toss it up on eBay, surely one man will think this trash is a treasure."

What's funny is that I bet he could get more than $15,000 for the orignally salvaged 996 had he NOT spent all that time and effort on the... concoction it is today.
