Retiring and moving to NH causes you to want to sell your 928. Discuss.

Sure wish I lived in DFW.

I felt sure I put "must own a 928" in the employment contract

Andrew, I resemble that remark.
First, I'm nowhere near 801 pounds ----yet, second, I resent your mention of me and gorillas together, what have you got against gorillas? Third, If you'd had a black GT you wouldn't be having all youe engine problems.

Maybe he's just getting old and losing the ability to use his left foot.

Ernie,

Post some clean current pictures. Your avatar does not represent the car that I saw at SITM 07. Very clean car. A rash of super clean DFW cars for sale as of late.

With the recent thaw, I was able to get the 928 out last weekend for some much needed bwaaaaah time. I came back thinking "this doesn't suck" and "these cars are awesome". It helped.

I think Ernie just needs to go for a drive and he will change his mind.
