Is it ok to be confused?

I am totally lost when it comes to this listing. How is it a bunch of squiggly lines on paper equates to a 911 prototype worth a $1,000,000.00?

Hmmm...

I dunno. Looks just like a 911 to me.

I doubt they put 99,000 k on a prototype.

But it's only got 7 legs. It's defective.

could you send me back my drawing please?

Speaking as a resident of Ontario, Canada, I can think of no special reason why a supposedly one-of-one Porsche prototype would end up here, or why the seller thinks that anybody at the Ministry of Transportation is going to enjoy finding out that the supposed 1986 Porsche on their records is actually a 1971.

Maybe incoherent eBay descriptions are a new way of sending coded messages to sleeper agents.

Maybe it's a chart of "trailing-throttle oversteer" characteristics. It took Porsche two or three decades to engineer that problem out of the 911 equation.

That might be worth something to someone.

After the ad posted the seller screams out "Conspiracy! Porsche doesn't want me to be a kabijillionaire! They paid eBay to swap my REAL photos with scribblings from a lunatic!"

Don't you think that if you were trying to sell that cars you would clean it up a bit? Those pics show a car in desperate need of detailing. Ugh. Maybe a 20K project.

Just for the fun of it I headed over to the Pelican forums. They have the guy listed as a certified fruit loop too.

I know, it's a huge time waster. I think I pause 10secs every time I pass one of his posts.
