What type of owner are you? FIX or PM?

Burning Brakes
I am a 2 that wants to be a 4, so maybe I am closer to a 3. I bought the car as a "project" and it has been all of that. One of these days (or maybe months) I will get to drive it enough to know what I want it to be. For now I am trying to be patient and do the right things to get a solid car on the road after - steering rack replacement, TB/WP, intake R&R, new distributor caps, cleaned injectors, installed sun roof seals (I don't think it has any - ask me how I know), etc. etc.

I'm a 3.0 ( just edited, realized how many minor parts $300 + I have sitting in the garage I need to get to, and will do tomorrow and wednesday, wifey out of town, so what she won't see, she won't know about!)

Just did all my PM ( started at 7AM - 3 hours later) and took the car out for a blast on I15 north out of San Diego, man it ran well, i'm a 3.5 now!

Neil - I don't see a classification for me?

Still in the learning curve working my way up from working on my MG to a Porsche. The MGB is kind of like a lawnmower compared to the 928 that is a Space shuttle by comparison. So if I run into something I’m unfamiliar with I’m still stuck relying on others for help or I have to take it to a shop. But normally I'm a firm 3 in the do it yourself category.

I have a budget that makes me a 3 for now, I'll probably be a 2.5 or even a 2 at some point, until I can save up another hunk of change.
Dan, I know just what you're talking about. When I was single I rebuilt the engine in an old 280z and drove it for just a few years before I had to make the big decision . Not very 'practical' was that car.
Now this car is my return to spending 'quality time' in the garage with something other than a minivan. I enjoy the PM and even the repairs.

Sheech...! From the looks of this poll, it looks like maintaining 928s is a way of life. I'm a 4 because I tend to be **** retentive, paranoid, and afraid that a piece of dust might get on my cars. I have 4 car covers for three cars. Anything sitting outside gets the double-cover treatment, even if it is already under a carport.
