Insane in many ways, including with 7 days to go the bid is at $400,000 already.	As aerodynamic as a brick, but has the HP to punch square shaped holes in any medium.	Just the thing for hauling stuff to Goodwill in style and when you need to be there now.

This is a big stretch for the category as the only thing sporty here is the Porsche name on the side.	This is a slight stretch because it has been lifted with some knobby tires, but it is not 4-wheel drive.	This one is only a stretch because usually I pick something fast for my touring needs.
