Oh, what was the absolute worst was the sounds of the winch dragging the car onto the car carrier. The front suspension being so busted creaked, groaned and screamed. Then there was the high pitched sound of steel scraping. And of course the horror of watching it all.

Then the offloading . . . the tow truck driver actually dropped it in the street so we started it up (still runs absolutely perfect) and plowed it up the driveway. Ugh, the ugly memories of the 928 plow.

 

Hi Beth:

I'm sorry to hear about the smashed 928, but I'm glad nobody got hurt. You can usually replace a car, but not a human being.

And: If boyfriends were not allowed to make mistakes, a lot of people would be single...

 

Beth:

Is this the car that recently got the NEW (not rebuilt) transmission from 928 International?????

 

Oh Beth,

That is really too bad. Can I have your seats? (nevermind, Just saw the photo above. ...) Are you gonna replace it with yet antoher shark? I would! But on the other hand, since Jim says sharks are cannibals, you could use the ins. money to maintain the S4.- Ruf

 

Man Beth, you didn't waste any time putting stuff on E-bay....going to list the boyfriend next?

Rich

 

What's the ID number for one of your items?

 

Dave, yes it is. Yes, the BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION is still in my garage.



Rufus - dang you - your car looks like ours DID!!! Or at least was going to after new paint.
Which seats??

 

To be honest he smooshed the car a week ago Sunday. I didn't want to post anything until we knew it was a goner and he had recovered emotionally somewhat.

My driveway is alongside my house, my kitchen and living room overlook the driveway. It's really cool when you have a great car out there, but last night I just couldn't stand looking at this car anymore - it's depressing! So I grabbed some tools and starting taking things apart. The faster it goes away, the faster we can get a new one!

 

Here's an ebay item #: 2469049564

 

Remember, that's not just the transmission. It's also a new differential and torque converter.....and AFAIK, there aren't any left for the price you got.

 

Although this was OUR shark, it was more his baby than mine. He had invested much more time and money in it than me. Dang, his dream car shattered in 2 seconds.

I like the idea of the "928 in memory of board" for all the lost sharks

 

Beth, time to update your signature lines....."83 S Auto Peeling Lt. Blue/Trashed Brown and Tan, earthy undertones, slightly bitter aftertaste, Napa Valley vintage 2004"

 

For some reason the "grapes of wrath " keeps popping up in my mind now if I could just think of a clever way to work that into this thread .

 

richard that is just cruel

 

you people are such connoiseurs
