I paid $8k. In a year I can still sell for $9k-10k. If I sell in winter with snow on the ground, the AWD or 4WD will press easily to 10k. Been doing this for decades. I can read your end, but on mine it’s positive financially. It was going to a dealer as a trade in. I liked it because of the Harley connection and it was a well maintained one owner piece. Buy a new Platinum edition if you don’t like my direction. Be happy with what you own. It’s pretty cool owning something different and coming out positive. Love it all day long.

15:46 seems to live in the world of knock offs. Like making a Fiero into a fake Ferrari. Or buying the Bentley fake kit to bolt into a new Chrysler. Or fake Rolex or apparel. Or put cheap generic bourbon in a genuine bottle. It only costs a bit more to go first class. So why encourage other people to swap labels and go fake? Why buy at all, and you really have more to stay true to yourself. And save up for the new green Rolex.

Not a bad idea. Just make sure that your basic F150 is the proper color before you clone it. That way it will look genuine. There were pretty limited choices.

No offense, but just because something is different doesn't necessarily make it cool. The word that comes to mind when I see those "Harley" Fords is that it's tacky, sort of like someone that has a whole lot of stuffed trophies in their camo themed living room. It's just bad taste.

Pretty much. And flipping houses. I bought a new black 911 Porsche Wide Body Twin Turbo Carrera I plan on keeping 4 whole years til the factory warranty is up. Wrote a check and enjoying PCA events. We buy cars to use and enjoy. This is certainly one of them. Worked hard in my lifetime, no free ride. Time to enjoy.

When flipping you have to be a real stickler for detail and be careful on what you get yourself into. Good luck with the 911.

Don’t own one thing camo; despise that look. Don’t have one thing automotive in our living areas. I don’t like it even in my office. My wife certainly doesn’t, even if I liked it. Great guy cave though. My turned and rear garage has no vehicles visible from the street. Unless doors are briefly opened. Trophies on the shelf in the garage with auto memorabilia. Have some collared solid color Porsche shirts that cost $100 each in the bedroom closet. You have a very active imagination. Sorry I do not fit any stereotype that you are conjuring. Again vehicles are fun. Hope you like yours. Take a nice drive and enjoy your fun ride. That's what life is about.

Thank you for very nice comment. It was a dream car going back many years, starting out as a poster on the wall of my garage. Lifetime composite $9000 option brakes, rear steering, PASM and the wide body with large twin turbos. You are right on detail to sell. Time spent in this area can bring higher prices. I actually learned a lot building car models as a kid. High detail started there and drawing them. Then you get your license, persevere and see cars you bought come and go. I like flippers like Wayne Carini. My older friend in his early 70s is a flipper of outstanding original classics. We are talking like a 57 Chevrolet convertible selling for $65,000. Buyers in that price range I totally agree. Sticklers for originality. Correct molded battery cables as an example. I fall in between. I like to buy low mileage cars that are clean and not rusted. Even if some mechanical, chrome needing replacement etc. I like to “restify” cars, meaning making them far safer. Disc brake conversions, power steering, even vintage air. Bolt on changes that can be reversed. Drum brakes scare me. So does older tire technology and I go modern day. I know you can drive slow, but you also need to stop. I wish there was a way we could post our cars on here.
A last piece of Porsche trivia is the number one new other vehicle we buy domestic is a Jeep. And I agree maybe a Gladiator or Rubicon will replace my Ford and Chevrolet trucks someday. I guess we could focus on the review topic car again.

They also have '22 special chrome wheels. Not available on your everyday ordinary F series.
