The plane flew past Mpls., over Madison, WI where two Air Guard F-16s were dispatched to it and they followed it to Detroit, where a 2nd pair of F-16s took over and followed it all the way to Kentucky where the plane suddenly lost altitude and crashed in a remote field, apparently when the fuel was exhausted. Pretty sad...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Wow that is sad, I wouldnt mind going the way he did with 2 F-16 as escorts.

I have been jonesing for a Porsche since my 89 928S4. Loved that car, bought it in S. Carolina for about 10K with 90 k miles on it. Sold it here in Socal for 15k with 120k miles.

Remember guys the 928 is not a sports car it's a GT. Very hard to find with a stick, about 95% of the 928s had automatic. It was a MB auto in a Porsche case with the trans at the rear of the car.

The 928 has incredible engine durabilty, as long as the timing belt gets changed.

A 928S4 looks best from the back, which is the view that mere mortal cars would have of it.

I also enjoyed the fact that here in Socal I would see a 928 about 1 X per month. Not many of them made. The 928 was Porsche's top of the line.

They are generally cheap to buy, my 10 K car was something like 85 K new.

If you are in the market for one, GET A PPI FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS 928s.

That would exclude most Porsche dealerships.

My 928 and my Boxster were as different as night and day. Both great cars.

If given the choice of my 89 S4 and my Boxster for a 1000 mile road trip, I'd take the 928.
