Default 928 FAT SLOW UGLY bla bla bla WTF!?

Look at the pic, I did not write these words and they appeared when I did a search.
I tried other numbers like 911, 914, 968 and the only thing that shows is the number itself but with 928, that sh*it comes up.
Those it do the same for you guys?
BTW, anyone who thinks a 928 is ugly, as to be mentaly disturbed!

That's kinda funny........

I like the 928 because it's so unique looking. The downside of being unique is very contrasting opinions from most people.

Fat? Maybe by 1978 standards, today it's a lightweight!!

You're not kidding. I was starting to feel bad about the new crop of ~400 hp machinery that's coming out of detroit in the next year... but then I noticed they were all above 4000 pounds.

Barrett-Jackson was on Tues. I think it is not a re-run, but currently in Fla. I happened to catch 2001 Aston B Vantage, looked mint went for $77,000 IIRC; a 97 993 Turbo for $90K; a 2000 Ferrari 512 Testarossa for $72K; except for the 993, those are cheap prices and yes, they are all several years younger, but 3x the price of a decent GTS.

Those prices sound about right for a Testarossa (last production year is 1996 BTW) and DB7.

That's funny the quote from Lart. He bought my 944 Turbo from me and when I talked to him on the phone he actually likes the 928, but ribs them because it's fun when people get so out of shape about it.

Chuck, I may be all wrong about my assumption(sp)... It is possible that I did do a search for these words and just can't recall when/why i did it. Things like that do happen at my age.

Anyway, it was kind of strange/funny when that search came up.....
