Anyone interested in adopting a Crystal Green '85 928?
Someone is going to get a nice car.

We bought the car with approx 140k miles on it.
In the last year we've done the following:
New Z rated tires
New rear wiper motor
New alternator
New battery
New blower motor
New rear hatch seal
New "original " Blaupunkt radio (actually found someone who had a BRAND NEW 1985 radio in the original box)
New fuel filter
New oil filter
All fuses checked/replaced if necessary
New teflon "sticker" thingy's for the rear hatch (that we didn't even knew existed until Nicole told us about them)
And . . . . . I think that may be all. But I'm still thinking.
The original owner did the major work on the car at 123k miles. He was supposedly neurotic about this car. He sold it to a good friend of his who is who we bought it from. The second owner basically let the car just sit in his garage. We have most (if not all) receipts for work done (I have a huge file). So we are the third owners.
Any questions?

Oh ya, and this is Rich's daily driver, BUT he's been traveling for business for the last 7 months (that's why we've been elusuve). I have just been starting the car and keeping the fluids flowing, it hasn't really been driven. That's why not many miles have been put on in the last two years we've had the car, even though it is a "daily driver".

And I have a perfect steering wheel for it in greyish-green for which Rich had planned to trade his extended hub wheel. 
The wheel has been sitting in my office for months.
Why can't I see any photos of this car???

BETH! Damn, I thought maybe you fell in a wine barrel or something! And now you return, to ditch a shark? 
Give it to me... I'll give it a loving home. That is one sweet ride! Too bad I can't afford it right now.

I bought her a pistol once, wrapped it up and gave it to her for Motherday, she unwrapped it, laughed and gave it back to me.
