17prospective buyer

h2pmr wow, sorry about your unfortunate fire. Too many of those been happening lately. Your (former) engine bay is my goal!

You know you're a 928 owner if you constantly think about what other V8's would be adaptable to a 928... or is that a 928 butcher?

SteveG

It's butcher and blasphemy But go ahead if you must; who you gonna call for advise?

Oli, you are a dangerous man for starting this thread. If we admit in public to any or all of these things, it somehow becomes alright to do them!! My thought about the "spending $15K to have 5K car" hell, that's my goal!! Well not really, but I got over how much I put into the car a looong time ago.

When you overcook a turn and the car's rear end controls itself despite you, and you say "Weissach" out loud.

Lol, not saying i'd do it, i don't have enough experience to make it work. I love the 928 engine, calm down!

When you have absolutely no cash to spend on another car but spend time searching ebay and craigslist for sharks... Then when finding one that has potential you start thinking of ways to come up with the funds...

If you'll go look at a shark for another lister just to pretend it is you getting another shark...

If you can perform a WP/TB job without cracking a single workshop manual. (including torque specs)

If you constantly and consistently stop at used bookstores in any city, any time, and regardless of the protest of your family... To look for a copy of Projekt 928...

If you are always obsessively looking for 8" Club Sport front wheels in the correct 928 offset...

If you buy coke in glass bottles just to use the door latch in your shark to open them... (beers when you're not driving)

Turn into that annoying guy that will start telling the entire story and history of the 928 to anyone that mentions "nice car"...

If you know immediately when viewing the rear of a 928 if it requires a new rear latch liner.

If you compare every car new or old to the 928... And always conclude that you would rather have a 928.

Have a discussion with someone about a giveaway or prize car... and then say "If I won that, I would immediately sell it and buy x number of 928s"

If you ever hear the words "relay relay relay" in your head.

If you've ever had an argument with Mark Kilbort about horsepower/torque, Amsoil, or gear ratios.

If you know what the "928 shrine" is, and you would proudly display it in your home.

If you think the auto transaxel fluid fill resevoir location is insane with a capital I.

and finally....

If you have ever been so pissed and "done" with 928s... And then bought another....

ADDICT!!!

If you've been asked by your SO when are you going to replace that car that you are always working on, and you ask back "why would I?", you might be an addict.

If you look forward to a road trip when flying makes infinitely more sense, you might be an addict.

When you find yourself trolling RL every time you need to "take a break" from whatever it is you do between trolling Rennlist, you might be an addict.

When you cheer that the salesgirl at AutoZone already knows that the 928 takes 8 spark plugs, -and has them in stock-, you might be an addict.

When you see that there's 5qt 15W-50 M1 on the shelf at Wal-Mart, and you buy it all "just in case", you might be an addict.

If you have company as well as personal cell numbers for your favorite 928 parts purveyors on speed-dial, you might be an addict.

If you invite friends over to work on their cars in your garage/shop, using your tools, just so you can better understand and document 'how it's done', you might be an addict.

If you start inventing special tools and fixtures dedicated to the car, you might be an addict.

If you constantly try to rationalize owning more than one because the fun multiplies, you might be an addict.

If folks admire the car and ask if it's for sale, and you say no without even considering what they might offer, you might be an addict.


I might be an addict. But I can quit any time. Yeah, that's it! I can quit any time!

When you can pay a pittance for a "non-runner", make a good guess at what's wrong, swap in a couple parts and drive it home.
