"Catch Me If You Can"

RandallNeighbour · 05-02-2008, 10:44 AM

Mine says "MACH SCHNELL" in Porsche lettering, all caps.

I used to have a photo of it but I can't find it to post it.

Never forget the cop whose pulling you over to possibly write you a speeding ticket will read whatever you put on the spoiler. It goes up at 70 but doesn't come down until you drop below 50.

Put something like "catch me if you can" on it and well, you're not getting a verbal warning from that cop, that's for sure!

I'm in the same boat with any cop who knows a little German... but I've yet to get stopped for speeding, thanks to my trusty V1.

I never knew you could stick a sticker under the spoiler. I've never seen mine up so I never considered it.

What does "mach schnell" mean? I highly doubt any of the cops around here read German.

Hmm, this seems like a good place to put my NRA Lifetime Member stickers...

SeattleBoxers · 05-03-2008, 03:50 PM

I need to get one that says, "My Other Car is a Boxer."

That should confuse some people.

'Warp Speed" would be a good sticker too.

Kurt W · 05-03-2008, 04:09 PM

I probably wouldn't do it, but I'm half tempted...

"PhD in Traffic Survival" or possibly,

"F.O.P. - Platinum Member"

I've often seen the window decals and wondered if law enforcement would cut you a break.

Mine has a "tatoo". Some of you might recognize the design.

LB, you should get one that simply says, "LoveBunny". I'll bet that will help you find that house-cleaning-laundry-doing-grocery-shopping-all-around-good-guy within 6 months.

LoveBunny · 05-02-2008, 01:08 PM

Either that or I might find a pimp....

I used to have a sticker on the back window of my Lexus that said "PORN STAR" and had a little stick figure woman spanking a stick figure man. I thought it was funny, but I started getting odd looks and questions from a lot of the attorneys I worked with when they'd see my car, so I decided to take it off. Guess I could hide anything under the spoiler though.

I went with PORSCHE in red. I love the way it looks against my blue car. Although I considered 986, and some other things I went with Porsche because it's classic and everyone can understand it.

I also wired in a dash spoiler switch, so whenever I see someone looking at my car as I drive by or another Porsche I pop the spoiler.

Mach Schnell means Go Fast! or Go faster!

It was made popular when Hogan's Heroes was running in prime time. The fat guard used to bark it and the prisoners all the time.

I like that "Mach Schnell"-- "Go Fast!" Too bad I pulled the spoiler fuse out when I got my big wing spoiler and will take out the spoiler mechanism entirely when I have time. I think I still have a sticker from my work on my spoiler that I forgot about.

Hmm... I loved Hogan's Heroes when I was a kid. It's probably online somewhere, but it's probably better in my memory than if I saw it again.

Why would you pull the spoiler motor out?

To lose weight

My car is mainly a track car and I don't need the OEM spoiler or mechanism since I bolted on the big carbon fiber monstrocity of a wing.

ChrisH027 · 05-02-2008, 05:21 PM

I want mine to say "Tschuss!" as in, "LATER!" auf Deutsch :P!

Well, sometimes you get lucky. I got of with warning with this:

LoveBunny · 05-02-2008, 09:02 PM

rick3000, that looks really good in red, better than I'd pictured.

As far as getting pulled over, nothing can be worse than when people put stickers about smoking pot on their car. I mean, why don't you just put "Hello, Officer, I'm stoned" on your bumper.

lapis986 · 05-03-2008, 10:49 AM

my spoiler has a "life is good" sticker on it with the smiling man face. I figured at 70 or above, these cars really come to life and it is good indeed to be behind the wheel. My brother almost peed his pants when i lifted it in the parking lot to show him. a few minutes later he was driving it for the first time and could not stop giggling.
life is good in a boxster...
