When it comes to iconic Nightmare American Workplace Boss figures, it's hard to beat Office Space's Bill Lumbergh. Remember how satisfied you felt when you saw the scene in which Bill's 911SC got towed away? Well, the "stunt car" used for that scene is now available for a mere $1,750. You don't get an engine and transmission, but you do get a lifetime supply of TPS Reports! Thanks to Teargas for the tip! Make the jump to see The Best Of Bill Lumbergh.

I can't talk now, I have to go meet with the Bobs.
I don't like work, I'm not going to go anymore.
I really prefer the movie "Head Office" but Office Space is okay.
In the overall scheme of movie props, I've got to say this is a pretty good bargain.
Bob Porter: Looks like you're Porsche has been missing a lot of parts lately.
Peter Gibbons: I wouldn't say its been missing them, Bob.
I know, it's weak. Still one of my favorite lines from the movie.
It says here that you've been missing a lot of work lately.
I wouldn't say I was missing it.
Now, early 80s Porsches are no picnic. I have a client with one right now. He says the trick is "adjust the balance shafts the first day, or become some mechanic's b*tch, then everything will be alright." Why do you ask?
I celebrate Porsche's entire catalog.
I guess that might be true for a 924, but a Flat-6 doesn't have any balancer shafts, does it?
Those fenders could use some more flare.
You know, the Nazi's had porsches of flair they made the Jews drive.
@StimulusCheckAsh: I salute you sir.
@tentacles: Nope, I was just having flashbacks on my high school buddy's 944. Most endeavors ended up with head-scratching and a 30-minute trip to the eccentric Italian mechanic who ran a little indy repair shop in rural Alabama. Good times.
My Jump-To-Conclusions mat indicates that this is quite the bargain.
Without an engine and transmission, this car is basically a no-talent ass clown.
Tom: You see, it would be this Porsche that you would put in the garage, and it would have different parts in boxes that you could assemble.
Michael: That's the worst idea I've ever heard in my life, Tom.
Samir: Yes, this is horrible, this idea.
My Dragon is gonna show this Porsche it's "OH" face! "Ohhh! Ohhhh!"
Notgonna...notgonna....notgonna be parking this one in my driveway anytime soon...
I should send this to my roommate. He just quit his job Peter Gibbons style.
One of my coworkers has a red stapler. Apparently Swingline didn't actually make one until after that movie. It's a special edition stapler...
@mytdawg: I think they still sell the $30 special-edition DVD set with the stapler in it, plus some other goodies.
Everything Mike Judge does sort of flops at the theatre and then becomes and instant cult classic. Idiocracy is on its way...
Of course unlike a Fiero, this car will not burn the building down...
Far be it for me to doubt the good word of a Texas junk dealer, but something tells me that this is the car used in Office Space insofar as it's the same color and model
Why does everyone involved with "high tech", consulting, software, hardware, engineering, and research related job functions like this damn movie? I was once involved with IT, and was a department head at one time. I found a few lines in this movie funny, but just don't get the whole "cult" aspect of it. Oh, and I'm also not a big fan of "The Office" either.
TPS reports not included.
@StimulusCheckAsh: Apparently Idiocracy was mutilated by the studio right before release (ala Blade Runner). There may be a Director's Cut in the future.
@UDMan:
No offense, but maybe you being a department head at one time is why you don't "get" the movie.
Sa-mir Naga..
Naga...
Not going to be driving this car anytime soon.
@UDMan:"I'm also not a big fan of "The Office" either."
Yeaahhh. You should go ahead and, uh, watch the BBC version instead. MmK?
Hey, Peter Man! Turn on Jalopnik, they're showing the Porsche headlight exam again!
It's got a special hybrid engine that runs on TPS reports.
@theeastbaykid:
dang it!
@UDMan: I used to think the movie was really funny, until my job became many times more ridiculous than this supposed farce. Now I wish I had just eight bosses, Bob.
@willin58: UDMan is Lumbergh?
@bzr - Pinko Commie Bastard Edition: COTD
Office Space has some great cars in it! There's a RX-7 in the parking lot, Samir drives a sweet 3rd gen Firebird, There are a couple SN-95 Mustangs in various parking lots, and let's not forget Peters badass Taurus!
Two Porches at once, man...
Rear bumper not included, either.
this is why i avoided this post all day. i figured it'd be full of movie quotes.
There was nothing wrong with Porsches... until I was about 12 years old and I realized that no-talent ass clowns become rich and start driving Porsches.
@Solo_Racer: Jeez, I come up with a clever Peter's-neighbor-Lumbergh's-Porsche line and that's not worth a star? :^\
As a comedy guy AND a car guy, I really, really want this.
...I should probably be sent to Federal-pound-me-in-the-ass prison.
@John Krewson: Based on your review of the Mazda, I figured you were against humor...
@Red AuerБЯд╒╒: What?!?! Seriously and for real? I'm no more against humor, or the RX-8 for that matter, than you are a scatological anti-Mexican!
[clever insider reference mode off]
@TRAMS_AM: Peter drove a Corolla in Office Space.
Even more mediocre!
I am currently staying late at work... working on IPS reports, not TPS (it IS the 21st century, gotta make progress...) and my boss, at 5PM on a Friday, (AS he's heading to the damn GOLF COURSE) just gave me a bunch of new assignments, and as a result, I'm going to have to come in on Saaaaaaturday. And probably Sunday too, mmmmmmkay?
My printer isn't working. It just gave me an I/O ERROR, which is close enough to a PC LOAD LETTER for my sake.
I came in to work this morning, and my pre-programmed coffee maker had puked my coffee all over my desk, thus making me cranky. What was the first thing I heard today? "Now, you're not supposed to have a case of the Mondays on a Friday, silly!"
Oh, and someone's stolen my fucking Swingline.
@danio3834: Aw, man, I thought he had taste!
The Porsche is the only character in that movie with a stunt double.
I never quite fully understood why Porsches left me cold* until I saw this movie. Well, actually, Jerry Seinfeld helped.
*: 904 Carrera GTS, 916, 917 excluded
