Default SIGHTED: Copper Brown OB in Ann Arbor!

Uh-oh, this may be a turning point for me; I've begun to feel as though I should personally know every 928 on the road in town!

Anyway, I've not seen that car 'round before, so I'm wondering if it belongs to anyone associated with the 'List?

I encountered the car by Arborland Mall, on Washtenaw late in the afternoon. I saw 'em peek in their sideview mirror as I came up on their left, one car back. I threw them a wave, but didn't seem to get any acknowledgement. Granted, their windows were tinted, and anyway, a shark owner wouldn't ever willfully ignore another, right?

These are such good looking cars, and it's such a treat to run across one on the road!

It's just as well, I guess, 'cuz I didn't have my Rennlist Invitation cards on me anyway...

What!? You didn't hunt 'em down and beat them into submission like Dennis does? Blasphemy! I vote you be ostricized from our Thursday night beer nights! (Oh yeah, you can't make Thursdays anyway...) Nevermind!

Dennis deserves some 928 medal for achievement. He's actually chased a 928 down in a front loader.

There's a fine line between passion and obsession. I crossed it a few years ago. Dennis was born on the other side.

In my defense, I chased a 928 down on my bicycle last summer, finally catching up to it when it pulled into a house. The woman driving was about to go in when I rolled up. I was out of breath, and well, didn't really know what to say besides "Nice 928 there..", and so I think I just wound up frightening her! I think she blurted out "It's my boyfriends, and I'm in a hurry" before she dashed in the house. Since then, I've been a little gun-shy.

Anyway, I should get some of Dennis' pick-up lines next time I see him, so I will be ready!

How 'bout, "Nice ***!" or "Can I check your thrust bearing?"

Chaad
I'm the same way with 928's in Stockton....saw a venetian blue S4 going the opposite direction yesterday...I did not recognize this car at all?!?!? I almost chased after the guy and pulled him over just to see the car....(I did say almost :>) I like to keep an informal list-idea of the local 928's... 4 within 1/2 mile of my house!!! 78-83-87-88..... At least two other S4's I know of...

The last 928 I chased down was parked, so I didn't have to chase the car down - just the owner. It turned out to be Chaad's father-in-law! Small world, eh?
