Would you own a 928 IF....
There were NO sites like this one, and you had to go to a Dealer to find parts?
I would have never purchased the project car I'm working on now...never would have purchased the E30 BMWs...

Sure.
I bought my project car not knowing about Rennlist or the Large Triumverate or that I'd never buy a part from the dealer.
However, it would be sitting deralict in the garage without the email list.

Knowing what I know now about owning a 928, I shouldn't have bought my car the way I did some 6 plus years ago. I'm glad I did though. And I'm glad a stuck through the frustrating times. At least until the next frustrating time...This site, the Big 3 and the other suppliers that have been jumping in have been helping a lot.

The only site I was aware of prior to buying mine was 928s4vr, it is how I knew I wanted an '86. However I should have read it more thoroughly before choosing. I missed the part about early 86 vs. 86.5, when I found the Rennlist mailing list I got educated.

I found Rennlist about a week before buying my first Porsche. I would have bought it anyway, but I probably wouldn't have wanted to keep it very long if I hadn't gotten all the help I got from here. The wealth of knowledge here is astounding!

Don't think I'd still have my 928 without Rennlist. I still would have purchased it....but I don't think I'd still have it.

I would be w/o a 928 if it weren't for rennlist. I bought my first , an '82 5 spd, a few weeks before I found the list. I'm a novice mechanic and w/o the list, I didn't have the expertise to do the repairs myself. The people on this site are an incredible resource and the folks I've met/done business with have been a joy to interact with.

If I had known about rennlist I probably would NOT have bought my most recent shark.
But I still would have gotten a shark, just probably a different one.

Bought my first one before knowing about this great forum.
Propably would not have bought my GT without the knowledge built up hanging here
