Wait, they made a 944 convertible?!? Why have I never seen one?

Edit: Ah.

In February 1991 Porsche released the 944 Turbo Cabriolet, which combined the Turbo S's 250 hp (186 kW) engine with the cabriolet body built by ASC-American Sunroof Company at Weinsberg Germany . Porsche initially announced that 600 would be made; ultimately 625 were built, 100 of which were right-hand drive for the United Kingdom, Japanese, Australian and South African market. None were imported to the US.

I have seen an ASC McLaren, though.... (repost)
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but, I thought Dinan just sold parts rather than actually had their own models. If you buy a certain number of parts from them, you receive the Dinan badge. It's very possible that he bought enough parts to receive the badge that didn't include the exhaust.
Correct...here's the requirements. Gotta add at least 10 points to earn it, kinda like their own PP system.

As far as I know, the non turbo versions of the cabriolet aren't as rare. Not exactly common, but quite a bit more than 600 units.

Edit: Wikipedia says the only other version in cabriolet form was the 944 S2, of which about 5600 were made. So still a pretty rare car even if it was just an S2.

hehe, Road Warrior, I liked it so I snapped a pic


and, checked out my neighbor's Xterra today. I don't think these modifications are questionable.


and, pic didn't come out, and not sure it's worth posting, but I'm curious. saw an old Accord coupe today, looked it up, 4th gen, 1989-1993 or so, EX, with no rust! I really didn't remember seeing one of these before, and so I tried to take a pic. Any good?

Saw a white Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale or Sport Line coming back from picking up Chinese food with my dad.

He's a disabled veteran. For all you know he has a missing leg and a prosthetic.

Saw a Roush 427R after dinner.

They have a nice sound to them. I've seen one or two at the local drag strip during the summer. Quick too, but first gear sucks as you have to shift nearly immediately. Better off starting in 2nd. This holds true for a ton of 94-present Mustangs.
 
I would like that if it didn't have door handles on the middle doors.

It's a limo, of course it belongs here.

Are you cereal? I see limos all the time (one or two of them have giant roosters on top of them) and I don't even pay attention to them when I see them. My neighborhood is tiny and at one time there were 2 or 3 limos owned by different people.
 
I don't know why I love the ass of these things so much. :drool: The front, eh. But dat ass.
I agree. It's one of the few Mercedes rear ends I like.
