I think 'American Dude' would be more appropriate.

I have to second that. It looks awesome in person. The center console/cassette box looked really nice also. How hard would it be to build a little deeper enclosure to make it a little more functional? Right now it's only good for an ipod and a few pens. Great work Paul! I'd love to have you do my dash and pod with the stiching. Maybe if I park my car out in the sun for a few days I'll get lucky and my dash and pod will crack so I'm forced to get them fixed.

Looks and sounds like a good time. I'm sorry I missed everyone this year. I'm beginning my private pilot flight school this week and I had to study up on my basic training and procedures beforehand.

However, I hope to see many of you at Sharktoberfest!

""Did you guys ever stop to think that that "fat Dude" is likely a member and might be offended by this rude comment? Not really necessary to us a derogatory desrciption like that, have some class.""

NO, just some brutal honesty....

Never mind..no sense arguing a common sense point with people that have no sense of respect.

Ken,

I vote for "Big American Dude" to please the PC police.
That "Big American Dude" deserves a rash of **** for that bone head move.
Of course unless it was his 993-which I highly doubt from a fitment standpoint

Thank you to Marc and Susan for a fun day. It's the one day a year I can easily walk under several 928's and see what makes my car tick. I always look forward to Lucky Ekman's "tech tour" of a 928 and this year was no different. Thanks to all for a great day.

As for the politicaly incorrect statements, lets see.....he is fat.
and im bald and have one leg!!!...that makes me a Bald limping Guy!!!
and if i was fat then i would be.."Bald Fat Limpy Guy!!!
Being over sensitive is just a quiet way of treating people as inferior.
''It is what it is"" and ''We are what we are""
NOW BACK TO THE CARS!!!!

Who belongs to the NV license plate GR8 928? Always on the lookout for other NV shark owners.

That's Tim and Cheryl's '88 ORR Beast, the one with the DEVEK "White Car" engine in it. You should hear it sometime... Tim is known as Tahoe Shark on the list.

I just returned from the event and had a great time. Fun drive was great, but don't get me started on old farts driving Boxsters!!! Talk about a rolling chicane, there was a Prius in front of it going faster around the curves than that old bastard. Once Tarek ('86 930 Slant Nose, very NICE!) and I finally LOUDLY dispensed with them , his wife got on the cell phone and called the CHP Fortunately we had all decided to pull over for a photo op by the time the CHP caught up to all of us and nothing transpired. The motor cop blipped his siren at us as he went by, and a CHP Crown Vic drove slowly by giving us the ol' stink eye

Thank you to Marc and Susan for putting on a great event, I really enjoyed it.
