Default I just bought it!

87 mocha metallic auto:

You could argue that the color is unattractive but I think it's a real classy color combination. My apologies to those who were interested in the car but didn't pull the trigger in time. I talked with the dealer in extensive detail about the car and it has complete service records and in my opinion it is just a beautiful car with a beautifully kept interior. I think it will make an excellent stablemate to my 89 5-speed. It appears I will have to do the timing belt/w.p within the next year or so. I will be doing that kind of maintenance myself which makes it's price just that much more of an outrageous deal. I am a very lucky and happy man.

Sweet looking shark. Now get rid of those BBS wheels and it'll be perfect

yes but now I am Ryan Harris erm.... biatch??.... Only now I have an emo haircut and I look semi-depressed... Oh don't worry, I'll be changing the avatar again soon enough... Until then you can right click on the picture and save it to your computer so that you can look upon me in your bleakest hour, when the beauty of life is lost to you and you need nothing less than to see the beauty of God's own creation before your eyes, and alive on this earth as you live and breath.

(My God! Where do I come up with this shxt anyway??? I guess I really am just a weird weird dude.)

is this it for now??? Well probably, for now at least, but don't be to surprised if I start looking for yet another. I think I will be interested in getting a supercharger before I would buy yet another 928. As it is now I will have a 5 speed and an automatic, both beautiful cars so I think I will be well satisfied for quite a while. Thank you all for the good wishes. -Ryan

It looks like you found another unique shark! This color is equally rare as the color on your previous one!

Congratulations!

It seems there are plenty of takers for the BBS wheels. That should help finance a different set - unless you can buy back your old one and get the wheels from there.

Randy, I am part of my own generation that you will obviously never understand. I will keep my hair or leave it unkept however I like. If you were bold enough to show your own face in your avatar then perhaps I would think different and consider your opinion of me worth more than the squirt of **** I'd give for it right now.
Ta ta..

I wouldn't take Randy's comment that seriously.

Anyway, this one looks a lot nicer than the "pink" one you were looking at before, despite the higher miles. Good buy. Are you going to drive it home, like you had planned with the other one? Enjoy the trip!
