« on: January 05, 2015, 07:55:07 PM »
Hey, can anyone tell what car is lurking in this person's garage?

You can see it in the last picture.
Thanks,

It's a 2012 or later Boxster. The more recent models have the tail lights that wrap around the side slightly. I'm willing to be wrong by someone more Porsche-nerdy than me.  :)

The seller must enjoy the trappings of the good life, but not the income--he lives in ultraposh Lake Forest IL, but in a townhouse with an unpainted garage. And he's selling his Mercedes on freakin' Craigs List.

Sorry, I'm a snob.

Hell, those and an R&D synch up too. Unlike the Guzzi corporate policy of insinuating the customer into the R&D process through questionable dealership networks, yellow page phone books and cries for help from the side of the road on smart-phones.

Maybe Mercedes should buy a cycle company!  Wait. . . That's Audi.

Coffee means you are driving asleep.

Get some coffee.

If you are driving straight, within the limits, and stopping at all the stop signs, the icon changes to a shot glass.

He's talking about the other car,  in one of the pics you can see a car in the garage.  Apparently the OP is thinking of steeling it! :D

In fact, Mercedes-AMG (part of the larger Daimler corp) bought 25% of MV Agusta last November.

Wonder is after a couple pf years they will sell it back for a dollar ? MV is making good money selling to large corporations  ;D
