I start mine up even in its current state. Its my buddy and it's promising me some loyal High G good times. I almost feel like its thanking me for fixing it up hahahaha

 

haha Jeff, mine is named "Buddy". My wife named it that because it is my buddy.

 

Hello. My name is Mark. I am a shark-a-holic.

 

Viribus: Pease is an air force base in the demilitarized zone of Massacheusetts that was closed years ago, but I assume is still a geographic location to the locals. "Peace" is the absence of hostilities. I'm sure all of us could figure out what you meant and the other tiepohs (sic) too, but the confusing proper noun interchange should be noted.

 

Pease is also an antiquated spelling for the legume more commonly known as 'peas'. I'd sure like to know how to make them so they taste good, especially if the recipe involves olive oil and garlic.

 

I've got that sickness too ... had it 4.5 years now. To be true, it goes for the 944's I had and the 911 too. But there's nothing that compares to a 928 winding up onto the freeway ... I attended a Ferrari Club gathering on Sunday, and the Challenge Stradale when it idles, sounds like a very small outboard motor. Fired the S4 up and ALL heads turned :-)

 

Visualize Whirled Peas.

 

Now if we can only have some peas betwixt Massachusetts and "Massacheusetts "

 

Yup, just keep telling yourself that....................I am at least willing to admit my addiction.........I think it was the dent made in my wallet for the Super charger that got me to acknowledge that I am hooked......

I can't fire Gretch up in the garage to listen to the rumble.......cause it is deafening in that small of an enclosure................................I suppose my affliction is one of the more beneign forms of "perversion", but I haven't ever considered it anythin more that a raging case of infatuation.....

 

I've got a little excuse book... most common
1 need gas/beer/oil... anything to drive to store
2 thought I heard something funny while at store and need to sit and listen to her for a bit
3 if anyone shows any interest in her immediately pop the hood and crank her up
etc, etc, etc..... admitted sharkaholic

 

You got it.

 

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thank God for this thread!

I just came back from an hour long trip to Starbucks – there is one down the street about a block away but I had to go to the other end of town just for the ride. One of my favorite things to do is when I am in a parking garage is to just blip the gas and listen to the aftermarket alarms go off from the deep vibration. I mean really is there a sweeter sound than a shark!

Cheers,

Eric

P.S. My wife calls my shark my 20 year old German mistress – I find the more you treat your shark right the more it gives right back at ya! Glug glug glug glug
- BWAAAAAAAAAA!

 

I too have the disease. Some times I like to go to the ( shark tank ) a.k.a. my garage for no other reason than to gaze upon the wonderful machine sitting there that is all mine. I sometimes find my self sitting behind the wheel for no other reason than to sit in the car. Some times while in the privacy of my garage, when I am alone with my shark, I find my self grinning and feeling sly, like the cat that just ate the canary. I used to think this was silly behavior for a grown man. Mabye it is, but I don't care. I love my 928. It is comforting to know that I am not the only one who behaves this way. I think I need to go check something in the garage.
