Film with a 928 in it.
Around 1989 I saw a cheesy film about a texan-style man who tired of his everyday life, and swapped his car for a 928. He also changed his suit for a cowboy getup and then went on a roadtrip in his 928 womanising etc.
What I remember about the film is that everytime there was footage of him driving down the highway, a country and western style music came on, with a chorus that went: "...and so he swapped his old automobile for a brand new Porsche car.." If anyone can tell me what this mystery film is I would very much appreciate it. Richard |

The actor was Bruce Dern. I don't remember the name of the movie but it would be listed one on Internet Movie Database
EDIT: "Middle Age Crazy " -Chris

Its MIDDLE AGE CRAZY
Middle Age Crazy features Bruce Dern as a successful Texas contractor who, after turning 40, suddenly becomes uncomfortable with the burden of responsibility placed on his shoulders. Everyone relies on him — he has to take care of his mother following his father's death; his son wants to drop out of college; and his wife (Ann Margret) wears him out with her voracious sexual appetite and her need for his advice on all matters. Dern flips out. He buys a $40,000 Porshe, steps into jeans and cowboy boots, and heads of to Dallas where he is remodeling a box at the Texas stadium. There he goes gaga over a Dallas Cowgirl (Deborah Wakeham) and begins the destruction of his marriage. Ann Margret turns elsewhere for sexual satisfaction. Middle Age Crazy is good until about two-thirds of the way through. Screenplay writer Carl Kleinschmitt catches all the signs of mid-life crisis and Dern makes them credible. But the film's finale ties everything together too neatly — just like a predictable TV situation comedy. |

I believe that "Risky Buisness" had a 928 in it also.

Song was sung, I think , by Willie Nelson. Lyric went
"Well he's traded in his Oldsmobile for a new Porsche car.... ..He's Middle Aged Crazy, trying to prove he still can." Don't forget the tricked-out 928/tank in Leonard 6 with Bill Cosby. Les

Today he traded his '98 Oldsmobile
He got a heck of a deal on a new Porsche car He isn't wearing his usual gray business suits He's got jeans and high boots with an embroidered star Cause today he's 40 years old, going on 20 But don't look for the gray in his hair Cause he ain't got any He's got a young thing beside him That just melts in his hands And he's middle aged crazy Trying to prove he still can He's got a woman he's loved for a long, long time at home But the thrill is all gone, when they turn down the lights And today he's 40 years old, going on 20 And don't look for the gray in his hair Cause he ain't got any And that young thing beside him, you know she understands He's just middle aged crazy Trying to prove he still can Yes, he's middle aged crazy Trying to prove he still can.

Didn't see the flick, but I put Bruce Dern on my list of top actors...he had "badass" down pat in too many horse operas to count...
