Slightly revised...

I'm planning on driving the hell out of my 928 once it's running again. I'll wait to replace my daily driver (lease expiring) until the 928 forces me to.

P.S. Save your comments, Andrew.

... If you've never owned a 1960's or 1970's British sports car (* that way you can appreciate German Engineering!)

If you cannot pronounce Porsche
If embarrassment on the roadside while Kia owners drive by is an issue

It's a running feud between MK and the rest of the world. MK digs at the Mobil 1 crowd and they dig back when he gets on the soapbox talking about Amsoil. I personally use Amsoil and have for years, so I'm in the Amsoil camp, it's just a little playground fun.

Ed,

Are you in a race to get your post count into the 900s?
