@the_garynator: I think I hit submit on that comment at the very moment the COTD was awarded to Engineered, so no dice today. Thanks for the vote, though!

I think this post should have been written Fox News style...

Pretty nice price, imagine the possibilities!

@dragondrop: Well, yes in the engine compartment. Some scoff at a 4 cylinder VW powered Porsche, in the case of the 912 and the 914-4. But I personally love the idea of a less elitist Porsche.

@Dhillaz 2.0: check ebay for "donk model". Tip: save a couple of skittles wrappers to use for the custom finish. You can tell all your homies you got sponsored.

@Novaload Misses Murilee: Haven't we already had a People's Porsche?

@imdstig: Dunno. You might be able to score one of these though.

I am picturing May and Clarkson together in a beefed up Clubman, each with a gin and tonic in hand, driving down one of the new tubes casually commenting on the ease with which great feats can be accomplished if you just take the right approach. Meanwhile, the Hamster's been given a large penicillin shot and is now…

@beercheck - Commentin' Dirty: Yeah, I totally suck today. I think I just need to find a block of ice and sit on it for a while.

Ignore this comment. Comment failure. Arg.

@P161911 now with M POWER!: Hopefully Chinese concrete isn't anything like Chinese drywall.

This man Conrad you speak of is obviously way cooler than I will ever be. It all leaves me a little speechless and feeling ashamed that I never saw the light like this guy obviously has.

@ThreeLitre:Agreed. All who seek COTDhood, Mobius has set the standard. Excellent job, Mobius. Simply brilliant.

Where I live, deep in the South, people have no taste in cars. In fact, people here don't drive cars. Mostly they drive pickups, SUV's and pontoon boats. So I nearly crapped my pants a few weeks ago when I saw one of these (fully clothed) in real life. Not only that, but it was being hooned - er driven hard on the…

@Maymar is breaking in the commenting system...: You'd have to wear a welding helmet anywhere else.

That is simply gorgeous. I guess the only thing that would be more amazing is if you had stumbled across a Norseman.
