Buy the car that Doom bought

Ordinarily, an eBay auction for an ordinary and seemingly unremarkable 1995 Acura NSX (current bid: $461.78) would not be enough to excite. But this eBayed Acura is different: it was purchased by Dave "iddt" Taylor. It's the car that Doom bought, and Taylor is selling it on the fifteenth anniversary of Doom's release (today, incidentally).

Why would anyone sell such a car? According to Taylor's eBay ad, the answer is the gradual feminization of age:

I am selling it because I am coming up on my 40th birthday and my testosterone is now low enough to make me feel guilty that someone packing more isn't enjoying it.

And it comes with some great extras:

I'm also including some of my Doom stuff with the car. One is a Doom T-shirt with "Wrote it." written on the back. These were only given to the development team, and there were only about 8 of us. It's been washed many times and is one of those rare T-shirts that looks really good faded. It is XL, but it has shrunk to about L.

Another Doom goodie is a boxed copy of the original game for the PC that was framed unopened. I doubt these are very common, because I am pretty sure you had to mail order them, and they're a funny size and don't come in shrink wrap.

The last one is a hand-made, comissioned Doom sweater I had made in Dallas for about $400 by a lovely woman who hand-knitted it from scratch, doing a fine-grained, dithered blend from dark red to light red for the gradient. It's extremely meticulous and well done, and she had to look hard for just the right shades of yarn. The colours are all spot on, and it's a big sweater, can easily fit an XL.

Pictured, the sweater, which is enough to cause any gamer to slaver. Throw in the number of the button cute sweater model, Mr. Taylor, and you can have my $500 now.
