....if you haven't found RENNLIST...the holy grail of 928 ownership
.....if you can't figure out just about every problem, with rennlists help & probably pictures and a step by step tutorial on how to fix it

....my #1......you can't use a MITYVAC....
.....you prefer your engines in the wrong end of the car and not cooled by water

Unfortunately I don't, as I think the designers blew it when designing the rear of the car.

The look from the front of the car is outstanding with how the front fenders flare out over the front, top, and rear of the wheels; absolutely breath-taking lines!

However, it's a shame that the designers did not extend that theme to the rear since the rear does not have any curves nor flares over the rear wheels. Not until the GTS of course, yet even that was not enough; the GTS should have been the first iteration of the 928 body.

Had the 928 designers sculpted the rear like the front, the 928 would have been DB9-ish way before there was such an automobile, and that DB9 is one sexy looking machine. As it stands, it's the 993 holds that title with Porsche.

If you don't believe driving a fast vehicle is an acceptable recreational activity...

...or if you live around too many people in uniforms with flashing lights on their cruisers who happen to feel that way...

Talking

1..if you like to add up all the bills and keep tallies of them..AND share the info with your wife!!!
2..if going for a drive is only focus is the destination!
3..if you dont understand "ALL RENNLISTER" are sweet lovable people...they just play jerks online
4..if you don't understand what Torque and HP are, or that Gearing is irrelevant to propulsion .
5.....and most important...You cant own a 928 if you dont understand the basics of turning a Torque Tube into a gigantic water BONG!!!!


OK who's coming to take away my KEYS!!!!!!!

...If you like to cut corners with maintenance.
...If you're always trying to devise a cheap solution to a problem(sometimes they work, most times they won't.)
...If you **** and moan about the price of parts (you want name brand status so you're gonna pay for it.)
...If you use the words "trying to save money" and "928" in the same sentence.
...If you're afraid to break a nail.

To each his own. I think the rear may be the best - and there's a whole thread devoted to that view:

...if you don't have an alternate shipping address for the mass flux of maintenance parts and hi-po goodies.
