Chuck Z

Tuesday of this past week I reveived and email from Roger (the guy I sold my GTS to in Nov-2007) saying he needed garage space b/c he is getting a Lambo, 599 and California; the GTS was going to be a "casualty of war"...... I have the best wife in the entire world; when I told her about the email she said "we should buy it back" not b/c she necessarily wanted it back but simply b/c she knew I would. Is she awesome or what! Long story short, I called Roger and we worked out the deal, rented a SUV/trailer and drove up to McLean, VA on Saturday morning, picked it up Saturday afternoon, had dinner with my sister and brother in-law, got up early this morning and trailered it home. All in all, it was a great experience and a fun weekend. Roger and his wife Kyle made us feel welcome and like we'd known them for years.

I don't think I was as excited in 2000 when we bought it the first time......! When I first saw it yesterday afternoon in Roger's driveway it looked like the most beautiful GTS I'd ever seen. I'm pretty sure there is not a nicer example no matter the miles of a GTS anywhere in the world! Roger put less than 100 miles on it in the 15 months he had it!!!! It's literally in the same condition it was when it was loaded on the truck to VA.

Here are a couple pics from the journey today..... Yesterday, I had to switch out the 3.6 turbo rears b/c they were too wide for the trailer!!!!!





.....and yes I do plan to drive it more than I did the last time I had it. I have plans to do something special on the inside, stereo, headers, exhaust, red brakes and new wheels over the course of the next few years. Never say never but I don't plan to let it go again............

Well done Chuck, you do sound pleased !
My S.O. is like that, although its more a case of "Oh no, what have you brought now !"

I hope you do drive it its what they are meant to do.

Umm... so Chuck.... on a per mile basis, how much did Roger pay to rent your GTS?

Oh man. I've never been a dyed-in-the-wool 928 street car fan, but I would donate a kidney for that car. I can almost guarantee I'll buy a car like that someday. Lucky man, you.

Welcome back.. No excuse to not be at SITM this year driving a 928.

You are a lucky guy. "If you love something set it free. If it comes back, it was meant to be. If it doesn't come back, hunt it down and kill it." Congrats on the holy grail of 928s...

Chuck! AWESOME brother! Way to go man! I love it when things work out. Can't say your caretaker has a bad deal going... WOW! Lambo, 599, etc! AMAZING! I would take any ONE of those! WOW!

I too have a wife like that... Showed her the pic of Blue82 and the first words out of her mouth were "Buy it." She is AWESOME! Your wife and mine must have been cut from the same cloth!

Congrats again Chuck! Glad to hear you are going to drive it more this time and do some other cool stuff with the interior! YEA!

Congrats, Chuck! Nice 're-catch!'

Looking forward to seeing you again at SITM, preferably with the GTS, but any way you can!

Best,
Doc
