That car needs new paint, air conditioner doesn't work, and it has 20,000 more miles than mine. Currently the high bid is more than what I paid for mine. A little off topic? Sure, but I'm just happy I got a good deal.
This chart also confirmed my feelings that I got a good deal.

If you are happy then you got a good deal, all this focus on money and Willhoit and resale value is tawdry.
Excellence article spawned a thread of equal quality to this one.
I think I am done with this thread, I have to tell some children about Santa, the Easter bunny, and income tax.

You know, there appears to be a certain level/degree of agnst in this thread that I think being cooped up in the middle of lousy winter weather watching the millionaires play on that televised auction block has alot to do with it. I'd point out that even though there are 70k+ versions of our cars out there it doesn't stop any of us from enjoying our car regardless of how rich we might be because there is such a range of years/prices to choose from. I've been fortunate enough to have driven all of the different models now, and each one has been simply great, Its made me more of an enthusiast than I ever was.
It just doesn't matter how much we spent to purchase the car, whether its a 2k OB fixer/upper or a low k GTS collector what matters is how great these cars are, how positive they make us feel and the sense of community I feel every time a log onto Rennlist, the people here are just awesome.
Summers comming. A few months away at best. The season for driving will be at hand. Just remember that any version of the 928 will outhandle that 200k hemi cuda some millionaire bought so he can sit and polish it in his driveway waiting for next year to go to the auction and sell it again, never driving it for fear a rock might scratch the paint....
polishing...polishing... all I do is polishing look at the purdy paint...
whatever

Sorry to open up this thread on an off topic but I said I would post pictures of the new and old GTS intake tubes.
As you can see the old original tubes are quite dried out but still functional as the new tubes have a glossy finish. The info stenciled on the original tubes were applied by sticker on the new ones which I removed.
I got these from Dave Lomas of 928 Motorsports.
I really don't see what gets people dander up about Willhoits and Lowmiler. If anything, you've got to compliment them on their ability to locate very nice 928s.

Sorry guys, I do not mean to belabor the point here (I'm as tired of this thread as you are...) but I thought this worthy of raising it to the top one more time.

Chuck, I don't get the connection with Wilhoit... I see that his biz card was copied at the same time as the article but somehow I'm not putting 2 & 2 together here... lil' help?
