Most of us are aware of the performance of the 928 in the movie "Risky Business." For you Stephen King fans, if you ever watch "Thinner" you will see a shark cameo as well. I rewound to the 5 second shot 3-4 times. My wife thinks I need to be in a 12 step program.

Patrick,
Two more: the longest run I have found was in a cult classic sci fi classic similar to I COME IN PEACE where the FBI agent is in search of an Interplanetary party-guy killer that crawls down the throat of the people it takes over in L.A.. Likes hard rock, eating, drinking, partying and Ferrari's (preferably,red) power and guns... Personally, I liked the monster snail with tentacles. The lead was the guy who played the agent on Twin Peaks- there were a few of those twin peaks here, too.
There was AT LEAST as much footage of the Gold 82'(?)as there was in Risky Business including at least one fairly long chase scene.
The other one had Emilio Esteves as a 'Troubled' and eventually, incarcerated youth.
His brother , at the end of the movie was leaving the County Jail where Emilio was doing time...
Some idiot pulls up to the curb across the street in another Gold Auto 82'-85'(?) Auto. and runs ACROSS the street to put something in a mailbox.
Emilio's brother -a goody two shoes- gets a wild hair up his ***, hops into the running sHARk and awayyyyyyyy he goes. Brings it back though after a short exhilerating joy ride.
Sorry, way to many channels and no T.V. Guide to Identify the Movie Titles ... will keep an eye out though. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />
Only three or four rewinds? How about that inane reverse burn out BAT TURN scene in the parking lot.
As to the wife, tell her not to worry until you start bitching at her for putting bleach in the laundry with your color matched Porsche/sHARk Logo BVD's. Whatever you do, don't get HER a sHARk of her own unless you want to be singing old Santana songs: "my house is dark and my parts are cold"... you know the words. <img src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" border="0" alt="[bigbye]" />

Thanks Jerry!
Everybody keep alert. What if 'THEY' decide to do an upscale remake of the Dukes of Hazzard...
The Dude's of Fresno or the like...
Be prepared for the call to arms!
Vigilance, sHARk wranglers, vigilance!

In the late 80's, there was a movie called Dangerous Curves. It was about 2 guys looking for a 928 that was stolen. It's a horrible movie...but a lot of 928 scenes.

Patrick,

When my wife and I go out I drive my Great White. I park my car at an angle taking up 2 spaces in parking lots. When we arrive home the Great White goes into the garage and gets covered.

She thinks I’m nuts. Women, they just don’t understand a man’s needs. <img src="graemlins/drink.gif" border="0" alt="[cherrsagai]" />

We have a RHD 928 in a LHD country, where women are not allowed to drive. Women in public also must wear a black robe to conceal their shape.
SWMBO keeps asking me to take her for a drive at weekends, and then waves an obviously feminine arm out the 'drivers' window as though she is making hand signals, just to wind up the men drivers.
I think she is crazy.

So you're one of THOSE people Steve.

You'd be better off just parking away from the hoard - takin' up two spaces is just askin' to get your car keyed.

I live in a highrise building. I park all the way down on the 4th level (underground parking) between a Ferrari and a Jaguar.

Hey Randy,

You ever notice that when you park a zillion miles away from everybody else that when you go back to your car, theres somebody right next to you.

In my case its usually rice.

Even when parking far away, I try to park in an end of row spot or a spot next to an island. I put the passenger side against the island and expose the driver side. That way i will see any door dings right away.

If i have to park amongst the masses, I try to find someone with a car as nice as mine, preferably C5 Corvettes.

I never ever park next to mini-van, SUV's, Non-German 4-door sedans and any vehicle less than 5 years old not within the aforementioned criteria.

I also never 'two space' park it. Around my way, thats just an open invitation for unwanted body work.
