Mercedes and Porsche are my favourites (although I can only afford a 15 yo Volvo), but that's a nice car.  :thumbup:

Basically I like the 911 but IMO Porsche botched some of the variants. Look at the fog lights of that one, ffs.

Are the fog lights behind the blinkers? Didn't notice that at first.  :facepalm2:

It's fabulous car to drive, though. The twin turbo variant is great but, as jeremy Clarkson pointed out, it will kill you if you aren't careful.
