Risky Business

[Grizzly]

Nick,

Cmon dude, it's five grand! At some point you're gonna have to establish the fact you are the man of the house. No time like the present.

The 928 is a great car. I have a good friend who is the original owner of a 1985 928S. Black over tan. Gorgeous. I prefer the 928 S4 update, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at a pre '87 car.

Blink is right. Throw a set of Carrera lightweights on there to update the look, dust off the the Wayfarers and cruise. Sometimes you have to say "What the f**k".

I don't like that color. Makes it look dated.

Needs to be Black, Red or Silver...Remember Tony Montana's silver one in Scarface? He jumps into as his get away car after surviving the hit men at the Babylon club. The 928 headlights pop up and speeds away to get the Don's woman and open up a can of payback. Al Pacino's greatest role, yeah I saw Godfather 100X's. Tony is still better than Michael Corleone.

I'm not sure about the 911 wheels on a 928. Looks very cool to the average guy but kind of a Porsche no no.

My mechanic (Hans) said he'd love for me to buy a 928S or better, a 928S4...

Said he could close his business and just work on my car for me and he could retire off the money he'd make. Said the cars are chock-full of maintenance items to be done all the time and are always requiring repairs.

I gotta say though that I loved the interior of that car. The whole instrument cluster rises and falls with the tilt steering wheel.

Amazing.

If I ever get really rich and have room for extra cars, I'll buy one of these "spaceship" Porsches for my collection (that's what I called the car in high school).

Blink - nice ride !

Griz - there is definitely a boss in the house, and it ain't me

PL - Scarface rocks ! Even the PS2 game of Scarface is better then the Godfather game...

Now if I could just find one of these I'd be really stylin' :

^ That was Manny's car, Tony wasn't that tacky...tiger stripes..pffffft.

I'll have to break out my copy of Scarface, I recall in the movie Tony's scoffs when the Porsche of Miami salesman tells him how much the 928 was running back then in 1982.

[NickCats]

SALESMAN - Twenty-eight thousand dollars. Fully equipped.

TONY - (genuinely) That all?

SALESMAN - Machine gun turrets are extra.

TONY - (circling the car) Funny guy hunh...Manny, c'mere.

Manny comes over and Tony walks him along the car, in quieter tones.

TONY - Get these sections bullet-proofed...here...here.. .these windows....Yeah.

TONY - ...and a phone with a scrambler.okay....

TONY - ...And one of those radio scanners, y'know, pick out flying saucers and stuff. Yeah a good one.

ELVIRA - (joining them) Don't forget the fog lights.

TONY - Yeah in case I go to the swamps, Good idea.

how did you do that? bet you can't do this one:

Marlon Brando playing the Godfather orders Johnny Fontana to quit crying and "start acting like a man!!!". (we were doing that impression because we had to make fun of this guy for whining about losing his parking spot).
