There's the old joke about the Scout who knocks on a door asking for jobs for a small payment.

"Paint the porch," says the owner. "The paint is in the garage."

An hour or so later the lad returns to the door to be paid. The owner goes out and sees that the front porch of the house is like it was before. The lad then pipes up and says, "The car looks great, don't you think."

The car is, of course, a Porsche.

But...

Did you hear the OTHER story about the Porsche that needs a paint job?

Well, it seems that the 1979 Porche 924 has nothing much else wrong with it!

Lucky girl!

Generous man!
