RUF gives Carrera GT owners a lift
When you're ridin' dirty a couple of inches off the ground, you'll swerve to avoid anything more than a few microns thick sitting on the road in front of you. When it comes to driveways and speedbumps, that's when the lowest of riders crank the wheel back and forth, trying to sort out the right angle-of-attack to prevent that horrific scraping sound. If that's you and you're a Carrera GT owner, it's Ruf to the rescue. The Porsche tuner has created a driver-controlled, pushbutton-operated, hydraulic, height-adjustable front suspension that raises the front bumper two inches, at speeds up to 40 mph. You can get yourself out of a crunch for just 14,800 euros plus tax.

It raises the front bumper two inches, which is the average size for the man who drives this.

Nevertheless, considering the price tag of this car, 14K euro is a drop in the bucket. An ounce of prevetion...

As a GT3 owner, this makes me cringe.
Your car is meant for the track, not picking up your dry cleaning. If you can afford a GT car, you can afford a "daily driver" that will suffice for errands...

Jason, you cringe at the fact that a person who bought a supercar actually enjoys driving it around instead of letting it sit in a garage 24/7?
