washed car today- sunny skies...

This is just a "bragging" photo, it was clear skies after a day of heavy rain. This was taken at 9:00 am... what a machine...

Looking real goood! That black looks fresh/deep, I think you need to put some tire shine on to match the paint, he he!

Al stated that after he finished driving his 1971 Jaguar, he decided to keep his 928. I don't blame him, I get wood everytime I drive one of my 928's to Work or is that just a morning time thing.

Glad to hear that Al is keeping it, thanks Leo.

Really nice! Agreed, I start my 06 Tacoma these days and it makes me sad. I envy you Cali Shark drivers. I love this pic of mine, I know, roll up the window, close the door. It was drizzling out and the entire car was coated with tiny water drops. Gives it a matte finish look.

Big wet empty parking lot. I wouldn't let that go to waste.

Thanks guys, Leo has the whole story/ soap opera regarding my continuing indecision regarding the selling of my car- I need to keep this car, and hand it down to my son in 20 years...The jaguar is nice to look at it, but the driving experience is lame compared to any 928...

The reason it's a keeper is:
-really nice paint
-near perfect body panels, etc
-new front spoiler
-rebuilt trans
-smooth running engine
-new tires/brakes...
-it's really easy to wash...

It only needs a few items, and is currently a great weekend driver, which sometimes makes it to work with me...
