So now I have to pack my Carbon 15 when going to buy a car. O.K., cool with me, 5.56 FMJ’s are cheap! Anyone who wants to trade $4800 for coughin’ up blood bubbles is a fu*kin’ dumb as*.

@RHM,

Hopefully he gets some “special” attention while he’s doing his time. I believe the general prison population treats these type of criminal similar to pedophiles. Won’t be a happy time for him….

@Ryan,

Like anything, you just need to be smart. Doesn’t matter if it’s Craigslist, eBay or a local want ad. Just be smart and don’t carry a ton of cash. I once turned down an offer on one of my cars because the guy showed up with all cash (about $30k). I simply didn’t feel comfortable accepting that much cash, especially given there were three of them and only one of me.

It’s too bad stuff like this goes down on Craigslist. There are some great deals to be had on Porsches among other things, but a couple of morons ruin it for everyone. Sometimes buying and selling on CL doesn’t even seem worth the time, effort or risk once you take all this into consideration.

Course that rarely stops me from watching for great deals nearly every day!

I’m happy to see this kid get some serious time (5 years), although he will unlikely serve all of it. Too often guys like this get off light.

If you ask me, this is a “hate crime.” He targeted Porsche people for the obvious socio-economic reasons. He wasn’t advertising a Pinto.

I bet he’s out in less than 2 years.
