If that is the one I saw at Laguna Seca on Sunday, he probably parked it that way. The front bumper looked like a bad repaint. It was for sale. Anybody have and extra $456,950 sitting around? One could also enter a drawing for a Lotus Elise.

that is the only Porsche I have ever liked. That car looks so much better than the 911.

not to mention it sounds like a F1 car.
