I'm going to need help selling off a fraction of my gun collection so I can buy this bad boy. This beauty has a balsa wood shift knob where every attempt was made to keep the car as light as possible.

I'll take a picture of you with the shifter knob. I'll call it One Famous Knob Next to Another. I just need a paltry $20,000,000. C'mon Cretins and Curmudgeons, you want in just so you can complain about how much roomier your Buick LeSabres are - and lets not forget the gas mileage...

Oh, thats we will call Grand Theft Auto and the Fast & Furious take it away from you facility🤔😆
 
Am I missing something? The vehicle in the OP is a Porsche.

Either way I just can't see the point of owning a Ferrari or a Porsche unless I was making regular trips between the say Colorado Springs and Omaha.

Speaking of which, some of you may remember the song Red Barchetta by Rush.
