"Land of the snobs"

One night, they wouldn't let me in, because the Sponsoring Club thought my car was "too new", until I pointed to my Registration Sticker!

But, enough of my ranting....

Driving the 928 is a ton of fun. Especially on curvy roads! It can literally handle just about anything you throw at it. And you don't have to be ginger while taking those curves, either. The 928 takes curves, like it's riding on rails.

Now, I have to admit, a lot of folks at the show, will come up to me, and ask me a bunch of questions about the car, chat with me for a bit, and love the car, so, I know there's a handful of folks that love the car. Many of them think it's newer than what it actually is. It's a timeless body style, and even today, looks like a modern Porsche.

When I pull into the local grocery store, or local gas station, I always get people staring and/or talking to me in the parking lot, etc...

And, yeah, I'd have to agree with Hobbyshark, 100%!!!! When he said: "It's like the smoking hot psychotic girlfriend. She's great looking and a real thrill but you're always worried about that night you might end up with an ice pick in your back."
Settle down Laney, not all 911 guys are pompous. Just as some 928 guys are. I came on this forum today because I was at the supermarket this afternoon in my 911 and saw a gorgeous red (not my favourite colour) 928 in the parking lot and it reminded me how exotic they are. I've always wanted one but never had the balls to buy one. I need something i can do at least some work on myself and I'm not to sure i could do a 928. Anyway, as I drove by the owner was getting out and I mentioned how nice it was and how I always wanted one. He just looked down at me, mumbled something and just walked right by. Still, a beautiful car in fantastic shape.
