i found a porsche 959

I remember many years ago, Bill Gates bought one and tried to import it, had one of these tied up in customs, as they would not let it come into the US. So all the kings horses and all the kings men, could not figure out how to get it in. Lost track of the story. Perhaps these come in as "antiques" now.

I came across a 959 parked outside my work a few weeks ago.

I'll never understand the hype.

It's probably the ugliest Porsche ever made.

That and the F40 and C4 ZR-1 were my favorites in high school

I am super shocked to see a 959 at a Porsche event in Missouri.

You do realize one of the largest collection of autos in US is in Missouri! I guess cool cars are only allowed in Ca or Ny!
