Thumbs up Wow...two sharks in one day!

I usually notice any Porsche on the road but today was an exceptional day in that during the course of my day, I spotted a sharp looking white 928 Cabriolet. I continued about my business thinking, "wow what a nice car that was and too bad I wasn't close enough to talk to the owner." Then on the way home on the 405 I see another shark midnight blue (probably not the correct name)in the fast lane but lost the driver in traffic. I did notice the driver was female and attractive.

That's All...Life is Good! <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />

In my small town Warsaw Indiana we've got maybe 10-15,000 population, 4 known sharks and a couple more rumored. Go figure.

George,
I only saw one other shark on my nightly cruise and it was pulled over by the Redondo Beach Police on Artesia 2 blocks west of Inglewood. It looked like a black S w/ S4 wing. The letters on back were in silver I think, sound familiar?

GoRideSno,

Ya, one has to watch out for the Barney Fife Redondo cops or the old "shark" will get beached. Just too much time on their hands...Hey, how's that song go? <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />

Nope, wasn't me George, although initially assumed it was as I'd never before heard of another white convertible in So Cal.

Randy: Yours was the first I had ever seen (in pics) and I wondered if it was your car. By the way, I searched yesterday for the thread with your pics, but can't seem to find it again.

Andy: The other car was definitely a dark, dark blue. I guess there are a lot more 928's than I originally thought.

P.S. Andy is that cruise like in a patrol car?
