Kog's post is probably where i saw it. It is a very cool car.

Side note, is anyone following Doug's cars and bids site? How is it?

Pretty car. I always loved the 8 series. The 6er that effectively replaced it was such a hideous car.

I might need new glasses . . . when looking at the car, I first tried to figure out what kind of weird hood scoop it had ( for a few seconds) the reflection really fooled my eyes

They also have a clone of my old car:

https://carsandbids.com/auctions/rN2...la-model-s-p85

But, idk--it seems ok but it's obviously a BaT ripoff. I find Demuro's whole schtick slightly tiring, but I find all YouTubers sort of tiring.

I was looking at that car too. When my wife and I were doing the fulltime RV thing, we bought into an RV resort in Mission TX. Many of the this car's picture's were taken right next door to our resort. The seller appears to live in the development next door, which means the car is really being sold in Mission, not McAllen. The resort and that development were built on land that was once owned by the Tom Landry family (famous coach of the Dallas Cowboys)

Another clone car:

08 987.1 in cobalt blue.

Black interior isn’t as good as mine but only 18k miles.
