Porsches are as well/badly made as Audi/VW, most parts are the same.

here's my old run around on a Sunday drive... damn I miss that car!



I bought the car when I was 22 but couldn't insure it until 23 so my mum drove it home the 200 miles from Cambridge and then we parked it in my neighbours garage for 2 weeks until I turned 23... best birthday present I ever had.. got it out of the garage and went to work in it for the first time! Loved every journey in it...

As for babe magnet, not really and definitely not when they (attempt) to get in. but that's somewhat missing the point.

From the upcoming GTA V:

http://www.rockstargames.com/V/lsbc/fast-cars
The COIL Voltic:

"I can’t imagine what it would be like to have a midlife crisis or to want for female attention but, if I did, I wouldn’t think twice about investing a small percentage of my future earnings to secure a sports car like this. Many of you are probably thinking that owning a Voltic is an impossible dream but I’m here to tell you that, with some creative collateral in place, I can make that dream come true with NO credit check. Drive it home today with ZERO down!"

that looks fantastic, then again I chose a Nurby Blue S .... I like stand out colours

... and reading the pitch I would say if that was the car you were after that guy is meticulous about his car (for example checkout the door jams and the engine!) , and IMO would be worth the 8 hour drive ... if it's the right car for you that is.

I will have to add an edit here though, I am terrible for buying cars, I am too 'passionate' about them ... so don't listen to me ! heh heh
