That will fire them up lol.......................

WEll I hate to tell ya......
I reread your post and read your bold text especially careful.
You made no mention to people that they should refrain on their opinions of the cars aesthetics. I would have found their comments ruder if you were posting a picture of YOUR 928 and they said that.
I wouldn't let them bother you. If you put people on the ignore list that easy you will run out of people.


Let us know how the 928 search goes

Well, I've been here over 6 years and have only managed to put a handful on that list, thanks for looking out for me though.

Aren't you the guy who was letting us all know the real story a few weeks ago (the day after you joined as a matter of fact) about the IMS situation?

Same guy who just purchased your first Boxster 2 to 3 weeks ago?

Thanks for the education.

Add another to the list....

P.S. I'll make sure to keep you appraised of the 928 search in ever increasing anticipation of your Solomon like advice.

I was a huge 928 fan in my younger days. I followed this car since introduction in 1977.

If I were to purchase one today I would look for a 93-95 GTS with a stick. Most 928's were automatic. The 93-95 cars are extremely rare. They were the best GT car made in it's day.

You have good taste. Unfortunately decent examples of the GTS model start in the $30k to $50k range, very nice ones with manual transmissions are quite a bit more. This is one of the reasons I'd like to catch a prime S4 now but frankly the more I look, the less I'm inclined to go down the 928 path. They were incredible cutting edge cars in their day, now that they are 25 plus years old the attention that they seem to require (thrust bearing / flex plate issues, electrical gremlins seem to abound, torque tube related, cooling system, 7 foot long timing belt / tensioner / Porkensioner, Intake / top end refresh, water pump, power steering issues, funky interior / dash pad issues, etc.) in comparison to air cooled 911's is dulling their shine for me.

Agreed. I'm also a fan, but the maintenance etc keeps me away.
On the fantasy list, I'd love to see a 928 with a Panamera drivetrain and some interior bits.

Thanks. I still have the interest for a 928. Specially the 93-95 models. My passion for the 928 died for awhile when Porsche introduced the 944 turbo-turbo S. I've had two of these so far and still have the turbo s. now it's a debate whether to buy a 911 variant or 928 or 981 Gts. I like the 93-95 GTS due to their rare existence.

Wow...You really are Mr. Sensitive.
Well lets see, I AM one of the few people who gave you first hand knowledge of the 928, and youre even squawking at me. Sheesh. I should kick you right in the vagina!!
Methinks you have made quite a few ignore lists yourself.
Heck, as far as Solomon advice, Ive owned more cool cars than most people could count, so that's my wisdom.
Good luck with the 928.
