Though every now and then, it is nice to see an RS with the original, more shallow Fuchs on the car. It seems like even the purist of the pure will still swap them out for the more aggressive looking setup.

Definitely not real. I had that same front bumper from AIR on my RS Tribute car. It's actually a very useful airdam/bumper. Provides quite a bit more downforce than an original RS Bumper and also has ducts for brake cooling. But most certainly if that were a real RS, it would have the proper front bumper. This car is almost BETTER than a real one though, because you can drive it without worrying that some dip$#!+ texting while driving might wander unexpectedly into your lane and ruin your near 7 figure car.

Have you ever wanted to just lightly hug a car when you finally see it in person....

Yep. He's going to drive it until he finds it uncomfortable to get in and out of it. They drive it about 4 months a year and have been putting 3-5k on it annually visiting friends and family around the desert southwest. I've tried to get him to take pictures at places like Zion and the Grand Canyon but it's too close to a selfie for his taste. He just turned 70 and only last year retired his flip phone for an iphone6.

Your dad is such a rockstar in that car. I still remember him thinking I was a stalker when I approached him.

That's funny.

I have never been able to find another 86 like it. There's supposed to be a couple dozen light yellow 930s and M491s, but this is the only standard body I've seen.

Definitely the best of the 915 cars. Has a wong chip but otherwise 100% stock.
