We've seen Porsche billboards before, but this is the first time we've ever seen a Porsche predicting the end of the world.
I wonder if they used water paint??? At least they didn't use a 911...

I’m sorry, but May 21 isn’t going to work for me. I have breakfast with my folks before flying home. Perhaps I can fit the end of the world in later in the week… K? Thanx.
Obviously the author thought this comment – “At least they didn’t use a 911…” – rather humourous. It’s not that funny, at all, if you own a 924S/944/968 – very unprofessional of you to post a remark like this.

Hmmmm. Here we were worrying we might possibly anger readers about a jab at someone else’s belief system. Never occurred to us we might offend owners of three of the many non 911 Porsche variants. So, while we’re at it, let’s not leave out 928, Panamera, Cayenne, 914, 356 and 912 owners. I’m sure they are possibly offended as well.
Really? Everyone knows those aren’t “real” Porsches. Why, Ferry himself told me, by way of text message, 1982.
Ted, I am pretty sure the comment wasn’t personal
Look at it this way, your car is now more valuable as there is one less good one in the world. And if the guy is right, it’s all moot anyway

@Peter,
I was going to quote Matthew 24:36. Then, I remembered two things:
1. This is a blog about Porsche; and,
2. It’s been raining here for well over a week…
I was going to tease you about dissing us poor 944 owners, but I see some hackles have been raised. All in good fun. BTW, there are some articles on this site where a 944 owner takes a good-natured shot at the 911 crowd.
Besides, if the world is going to end, you want to be riding in the most well-balanced Porsche out there!
@Vince,
But I know what else is in your garage too.
No hackles raised on our end. My reply to Ted was meant to be in jest. Hopefully it comes across that way.
As for the most well balanced Porsche, you meant a Boxster, right??
Cayman R?
@993C4S
With the Boxster and Cayman, it’s almost as if Porsche decided to take a page from the BMW playbook. Car and Driver has even made the two variants a perennial 10Best selection (Although I tend to take the perennial Accord-over-Camry pick with a grain of salt).
As far as balance goes, what about a Carrera GT?
If only the Porsche in the pic was a Guards Red Cabriolet. Oh well… maybe it will be featured on AutoTrader by May 22nd. I’m with Dave – May 21st is not convenient for me either.
Hmmm…Not enough time left to have this individual repeat 6th grade English and learn how to spell “awesome”…
You guys know this car was prepped to race in the 24 hours of LeMons, right? This isn’t the work of a religious group at all. Should a 911 be damaged and/or depreciated enough to qualify for a LeMons race, I’d like to think its driving team would have just as much fun with their paint scheme.
@Andrew, yup. The stickers are right on it. We were just playing with it, but some took it a tad too seriously.
Anyway, in a few more hours it really won’t matter now, will it???
@ 993C4S Linking to some LeMons photos of the car in action may assuage further misinterpretation.
@ Ted Buddy, do what I do; get on the track and show them what’s what! You’ll forget all about this mean ol’ post when you’re passing 911s worth 2, 3, 5 times what you paid for your fine front-engine Porsche.
Tap Tap – this thing still on?? Did I miss anything?
