Frankie Muniz's Speedster, Part II

John LeaderJohn Leader
An article in this month's "Los Angeles Magazine" about driving in L.A. has a side-bar piece on Frankie Muniz and his "Porsche Speedster." He calls it a 1956 Porsche Speedster which he bought after seeing "Ryan Phillippe driving a cool little car in 'Cruel Intentions' and thought I'd like to have one."
Nowhere does he say it's a replica, but the accompanying photo clearly shows that Frankie's ride is a Vintage Speedster. Visual clues include: the T-1 speedometer placement (on the left) like all VS's (our cars are really T-2s); the dash leather gap at the doors - always a tip-off; and those cushy Roadster seats.
By now someone must have told him that he's driving a replica...a very nice one, but, still...

This is my signature.

That kid annoys the hell out of me.

You guys ever see a show on MTV called "Punked?" It stars another annoying as hell celebrity, Ashton Kutcher, who runs around playing stupid pranks on his peers. Anyway, one time they did a prank on Frankie Muniz and his brand new 996 Twin Turbo (little son of a ...). Apparently he had it parked by a valet at some restaurant, and when he came out to get it, lo-and-behold it was gone! What did little Frankie do? He practically cried his eyes out until someone told him it was a joke.

He's annoying as hell, but I can't blame him for starting a Porsche collection. I'd do the same if I had his kind of money.

aloha,
Joel
