Default Tomorrow is the day the 928 will be home!

I am waiting like a 4 year old the night before Christmas for my 928s to arrive tomorrow. I have applied a new coat of paint on garage floor last night, cleaned and organized all cleaning materials, bought new bottle of Zaino, new microfiber towels(actually really soft bath towels from Macys for her...my wife is flipping on why I spent $150 in towels for a car...LOL), moved the 911SC on the "other side" of the garage and finally ran an a/c / heat duct into the garage today. I am ready for the new beast.

Let me see some 928's pics so I can get through the night.

It is an 86.5 5spd.....getting excited BIG TIME

Oh yea, I am aware of the let down thing. My 911SC was one of those, but now she is a fine targa.

Less than 24 hrs to go...............

I wanted to do the same thing too but when asked my heating&AC buddy for his oppinion, he told me that this is a very bad idea and is also highly illeagal to do. The issue is that the garage has to be, by law/code, air tight from the rest of the house. By running the heating duct to the garage you cleared a parth for gases/fumes like CO to enter the ventilation system of your house and can, be extremly dangerous. To be more correct, it WILL be very dangerous. If you want to head and cool your garage I would strongly suggest not to use the house's system.

Thats bull about running heating and air con in your garage. Unless you have your car running in your garage with the doors closed for hours everyday, there is no harm in running you air con or heating from your house into your garage. Codes are only there for idiots that dont have any common sense.

Yes, some CO will enter home, I am aware but I don't run cars in the garage for more than 30 sec to back them out also I have a ceiling mounted exhaust fan which draws fumes out to vent stack in roof. I like the idea of having a A/C garage in the summer for those 100 degree days and I can still detail my cars without sweating like a pig.

The 928 pics are great, the blue GTS, damn thats nice
