Default This is why I don't loan my cars out - what a mess

Look what happens when you loan out your 911 Turbo Cab (X50)

I get a call from Marc Faraj at Town Motors Porsche and he tells me he did something bad.....

I asked him what can be so bad?

He said: I loaned out my 911 Turbo Cab to a buddy.
I said: How bad he says you'll see......

When I received the car it was early morning the sun wasn't out yet, the next day when I was able to pull it out I couldn't believe my eyes! The car was shot!

Niice man, those 50/50s are redic!
Uncle had that exact same car (has the 997 now). HE was super anal over it - wouldn't even let me sit in the passenger seat. Amazing machine for sure.
