I went over to BAT to see the listing you guys were talking about and had a funny (to me at least) observation. Every 911 ad has a lead picture with a front 3/4 view showing the headlights EXCEPT the 996 gen cars that almost always have a lead pic showing their ass end first.

For the non p-car cognisti, those that can't discern a 996 rear end from a 997, it creates a lot of click bait and disappointment. Kind of like the dealership ads that call DCT/PDK a 'manual' in their search terms.
