I wonder what Elon Musk is compensating for?

That is not an oversized pickup truck.

It's not even a pretty lime green. It's a muddy lime green.

\Should I get this car? I was born without a penis.

Track day specials aren't usually for penis compensation. This car doesn't even come with A/C or a stereo. It probably has the cloth door pulls too.

Just sayin'.

I'm sure it's a wonderful car. But no 3 liter 6 cylinder is going to compensate for anyone's lack of peen. For that you need a healthy American V8.

Everyone needs a second and third mortgage.

Mugato: beautiful sports cars and paint them that lime gre

It's darker than lime green but it all falls back to personal preference. If you have the money to afford it you should get whatever color you want. Some people don't like black paint, some don't like pearl white either. We can all agree though that NO one likes the shiat brown color from an old Chevy Celebrity (which ironically, no celebrity back then would've been caught dead driving.)

That looks nothing like the DuoCar.

Mugato: I never understood why people take beautiful sports cars and paint them that lime green color.

It's a variation of a classic Porsche color...

The 80s made some atrocious neon versions, but pre-80s there are some excellent examples of a light green. You can google Ice Green Metallic for a few examples.

So... no A/C... no one who buys luxury items will buy it ... that means nobody will buy it.

Base model is 70K. A lot for a car, but you won't need that third mortgage on your trailer.

Why do subbies always bring up their homosexuality in headlines about cars?

Heh, heh. Subby, your headline is perfect.

So, is this the car for dudes with micro-penises?

Nothing wrong with the colour, makes it stand out. Just like my penis.

Ross E. Krushan: Heh, heh. Subby, your headline is perfect.

So, is this the car for dudes with micro-penises?

No. As someone pointed out, you need a fully loaded turbo-diesel, super crew cab, dually, if you really want to impress the ladies with your lilliputian penis and enormous wallet.

Wanna know what's a crime? Whoever defaced that work of art by painting it that color... ought to have his ass removed.

unamused: The ultimate cockmobile is still the veyron.

Nope. A peenmobile is about presence, not necessarily performance. So it needs to have expressive sheet metal, a rumbling and intimidating idle, and it needs to display its fat tires. The Veyron misses the mark.

Notabunny: I'm sure it's a wonderful car. But no 3 liter 6 cylinder is going to compensate for anyone's lack of peen. For that you need a healthy American V8.

Exactly. a 330hp inline-6 is by no means a peen-extension. It's a pretty car, and I'm sure it handles well and could probably easily beat any V-8/10/12 around the Top Gear track, but it's not obscene.

Then again, there are those who think that a Porsche is obscene no matter what the model.

And I'll admit that $73k is kind of obscene, but maybe not for the quality.

I think both of you are wrong. The ultimate penis compensators are cars like these:

A modified wooden toiler roller is much cheaper.

I thought it was going to be this.

Well by that description, my '89 Mazda MPV is the biggest peenmobile ever. The sheet metal is as expressive as you can imagine, glistening with rust spots that show years of expressive expressions. Some of them even wink at you. Its always rumbling, not just at idle. You can hear it coming from several blocks away, and all the ladies turn their heads and say, woa, what was that rumble, its got my inside quivering. And you can sure as shiat see its fat tires through the rust holes.

Sweet car, but I wouldn't get the stripped down version, I like A/C and tunes. I think I'll get one of these for the wife when were done with her 5 series.

Wuss.

Marauder (new window)

Porsche's engineers have increased performance by removing the air conditioning, sound system and just abut anything else that could be taken out without hurting performance. That makes the R model about 121 pounds lighter than the standard Cayman.

And that means the 3.4 liter, 330-horse inline six that powers the Cayman R is good for zero to 60 in a 4-second range.

One welcome change over the convertible Cayman is that the owners don't have to master the somewhat-convoluted construction of the droptop. Of course, in summer it can get downright hot inside the hardtop. For a few dollars more, the hardtop can have both air conditioning and base radio system. I would check both items on the order sheet.

So they charge you extra to have the special, racing, lightweight model and you then pay extra to have the weight added back in, reducing the performance back to the standard model...

No wonder Porsche are profitable. That's as bad as people buying Mac's and paying extra for mice with only one button and a keyboard with no number pad.

You don't need air conditioning as standard equipment in Germany. It only gets up to about 75 in the middle of July.

It looks so purrtee. If'n it were purrteeerr you might want to fark it rather than drive it.

i have a big penis and would have no problem calling that my car.
/i even love the color.

Legit question- what is the logic behind cars like this (or guns, boats, big trucks, etc.) representing the consumer's need to "compensate" for something- whether that be small penis, no penis, etc? I'm hoping some of the farkers more knowledgeable in psychology can render some opinions....

mrlewish: So... no A/C... no one who buys luxury items will buy it ... that means nobody will buy it.

It's a track car. Somebody who actually likes to drive will buy it.

The whole goddamn thing says "I am poisonous."

I think the phrase you're looking for is "I bought this by trading in toxic assets".
Could've been worse. Could;ve been Special Bus Yellow...with Porsche's usual badly photoshopped motion blur...

Ant: mrlewish: So... no A/C... no one who buys luxury items will buy it ... that means nobody will buy it.

It's still a little portly. We've pulled 200lbs more out of the cayman chassis that Porsche has and it was still barely streetable.

The cayman is an amazing chassis. HP for HP it'll mop the floor with anything else Porsche produces. I have to admit, though, that Porsche failed to execute it's racing program for this car properly. When they were first produced, they told us privateers there would be no factory support at all. That was ok, we all new what we were up against. Now they change their minds and it's set up a real rift between the factory and guys like me.

/oh, and stand by for the 4.2 v8 Cayman
//probably take us another year to finish

Subby, I don't want to descend to your level and engage in needless name calling but, honestly, you know how I know you're gay?

/that is a damn fine track car

Want.

/in Silver, not in "You'll never resell that green"
