Look, I get it, everybody thinks Porsche drivers are pricks. It is a joke that has gone far beyond its original conception, and the horse corpse has been thoroughly flogged. Seriously, I have known dozens...a handful...a few at least one 911 owner who is a great guy and not just because his tan is so fabulous, but because he genuinely cares for other people. Sure, he might call them “the poors,” but he tips well and has great hair. So, yeah, I joke about the Porshupine...but to build an entire custom car just to ridicule the friendless/wifeless/mistressless/kidless life of a Porsche 911 driver...is really going a bridge too far. Find this 2011 Porsche 911 Cabrio bidding !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for $1,000 reserve-not-met with 7 days to go, located in Miami, FL.

This is really fantastic, just image sitting in the center of your cabrio Porsche, and with the top up, you can easily extend a middle finger to people you are passing on both sides of the road, shoulder, or sidewalk that you happen to be riding on. Drive through banking is going to be difficult, and forget about using an automated toll booth...but the ability to nail an apex doesn’t come without its costs.

For those curious about the setup, it looks like they pushed the entire center console about one steering wheel width to the right and everything else just followed. The car is a DSG equipped version, so no need to worry about complex shift linkages or clutch cylinder location. I do wonder how you’d flick cigar ashes on the street, but I guess you could just flick up when the top is down.

And then it hit me. This isn’t the Porsche for the guy with no friends...this is the Porsche for the guy with TWO friends, a rare bird indeed. Typically, a 911 has these vestigial rear seats that are for insurance and South African sprinter killer use only, but here you’ve got a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar amount of legroom on the left and a Jar Jar Binks amount on the right. Sure, the width of the seats is limited to people who can match Scarlet O’Hara’s 17-inch waist, but you’ve got room for feet...in a 911 back seat!!

See another center seated car for the wealthy swing voter? !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Honestly, it’s kind of stupid.

Wow. I want to hate it but I think I love it. Or do I hate it? No I love it.

For the man who wants McLaren F1 style seating... in a Porsche. For no reason.

From the side, no one would notice. If I saw it behind me in my mirror though I would major WTF.

does this look a little too far back? or is the perspective screwed up?

Yeah, I think I’d want the shifter and that cup holder to swap places. But it is the DSG, so you will probably spend most of your time with the flappy paddles.

Wow. I would be ok with this on a track only GT3, but on a convertible?
