$50,000 Porsche 911

Have you seen this picture making the rounds? 

Pretty funny, but it made me think.  Even if Porsche did a lottery and sold a bunch for $50K, they would instantly become highly-sought after collectibles and would resell for crazy money.  I mean, a light, simple 911 without all of the gadgets? Roll-up windows and a 6-speed manual?  It would be so pure, so awesome to drive.   

Your rental car fleet Ferrari is here! 

If Porsche decontents a car, stripper/lightweight, they charge more,  not less.

I bet making wind-up windows on a modern Porsche would add cost and weight. Modern window motors are pretty light and cheap..

Looks like a mid 2000s Toyota with missing plastic wheel covers and unpainted replacement bumpers from E-Bay.

Not impressed. 

I wouldn't kick it out of the garage....

all those steelies are made of magnesium and cost 6k each

I really wouldn’t mind silver styled steel wheels on more pedestrian cars, at least compared to plastic wheel covers. 

I'd be in - dealer charges should only bring it to 100k if you pay a downpayment site unseen.

Just because some random person draws up a picture and posts it online doesn't mean it's any way related to a factory effort.

I love steel wheels. I would buy that rubber bumper porrarriboghini.
