What in the hell is the world coming to?

1990 Carrera Targa 2 sold for 1.1 million, yes, MILLION, dollars. Four year custom built motor, etc..., etc..., costing 617K dollars is supposed to make it worth it. A whopping 400 HP and 315 ft/lbs of torque. And UGLY as **** thrown in for free.

I am pained by this. America is becoming a completely degenerate nation.

No...we have actually become a country of an increasingly large segment of those who have amassed a tremendous amount of disposable income...(through largely unconventional means the past 15/20 years)..thank technology..social media..and the internet..and last but not least..the savvy of said individuals to identify the opportunities that have made them wealthy...

Wealth is for health. Have to look forward and sea the people are purchasing this property. Very close nit of ticks.

It's a Singer. Singer restomods older Porsches and they're hella expensive. The waiting list to get one custom built is also years long. So I guess this ugly ass color was acceptable to someone, and it was a good way to skip the line? We are a society of instant gratification these days after all. Remember when we used to wait 6-8 weeks for a mail order item, and now we can get things the next day (some instances, same day)? Waiting is for suckers.

I dont care if it's a Versace/ fifty cent original and the interior is from a date with liberace and Richard gere, there is no value there. The illusion has become real. We value the bullshit over the actual since we do not build the things we sell and use echo chambers to tell ourselves what is valuable, real, and important since we have no common sense or common grounding in reality. If that was given to me on condition that I not sell it I would take it and burn it to ashes.

I'm just saying if you wanted Singer to build you a Porsche it would be expensive. No different than getting an overpriced hot rod built by a big name like Chip Foose or something. Having said that, I just looked at the whole description instead of just the first couple pics. Original Singer build cost a little over $600k. Sold for $1.1M?! Fuck that. Hell of a price to pay (for an ugly color) to not have to wait in line.

I wouldn't burn it, but I'd definitely repaint it.

 

[Hickster]

Yepper,, I agree. But in the mean time you loose, they say, 10% right off the bitches head for the repaint. For a purchase of that amount. $$$$ damn pricy.

On this one...I would tend to agree with you...
