Yeah, this is a good idea if you don't plan on sleeping again. Had a friend when I was in the military - he got a new Porsche 911 turbo for $500. Seems he thought it was a misprint went to look at it and the woman selling it said her husband left her for his medical assistant and the divorce said she had to sell the car and give him half the cash, so she sold it to my friend for $500 - with less than 2000 miles on it. Beware a woman scorned!!!!!
You're kidding, right? That's one of the oldest urban legends around. It's right up there with the new $500 Corvette (insert current top of the line model/year) that the owner couldn't get the stench out of when some guy killed himself in it.

Actually, I am not, I went through basic and a couple of schools with the guy. He got it near Dallas back in '92 a little after we both reported to our duty stations.

This would never happen to me, I live in NY too long and too skeptical about freebies like that.

Wow, it must be common. This Porsche was only $50, though.

I didn't say all the ones were true, but I knew of one. I have heard the story a hundred times since but never verified.

I thought Porsche owned VW? maybe i'm wrong but I thought that's the way it is...
Porsche owns a 51% stake in VW, so no, VW in no way owns Porsche. Although, the stock is low.
