Default Just bought my first Porsche!

Hello everyone! I have been on rennlist for a while now and I wanted to make it known that I finally bought my first Porsche!

I'm in Omaha, Nebraska and I recently drove out to Colorado Springs, Colorado and bought a one-owner 1990 928 S4 Auto BLK/BLK 17K miles. I'm a certifiable car nut and I love Porsches, specifically 90's Porsches. I have always felt that the 928 is one of the most under appreciated cars in the automobile world, so you can imagine my excitement about finally being able to purchase a very fine example of one!

Cheers,

R.C.

Congrats, that is a cool looking 928. What color is that? Hope you had an enjoyable, trouble-free drive back home. It's a great way to get to know your new car.

As an aside, I drove from Nashville to Omaha three years in a row (Apr '98, Apr '99, and Apr '00) to attend a regional IT conference hosted by the Omaha chapter of AITP. I greatly enjoyed the tech conferences, I enjoyed meeting some of the IT people of Omaha, and it was a cool, stress-free getaway from Nashville, although I wasn't in a P car at the time.

Please post more pics of your car, and your driving impressions, when you get a chance.

Regards,

Rick

What he said! Looks like you waited to find the right car, very nice find.

Wouldn't you rather have the LeBaron next to the Cayennes in the photo, though?
