The Parade always has a couple of vetts but mostly Mini's, Jaguars and Alpha's.

928 Owners are ".....a secret sect of quietly assured Porsche pragmatists who in near anonymity appreciate the prodigious, easy going prowess of the 928."

Ive participated in Flower Mound, Coppell, and Highland Village Parades. I assumed Double Oak would be a lot like HV, in that its just a bunch of kids on their bikes with flags. Coppell is a bit more, um, "patriotic." Last time I participated, the Grand Marshal was the Governor... ...And By Governor, I mean, George W Bush. Doesnt matter if you like him or not, to have the future president lead your parade, wow... ...besides, remember how patriotic everyone got after 9/11?

First, I wanted to say, my wife Ummyeahok and I enjoyed meeting all of you and talking cars.
Secondly, I wanted to say, I got it to start today! Shot engine harness, cleaned every engine ground, and then had 6 bad relays. (Including fuel pump, Jetronic, and Ignition!) Drove me crazy trying to diagnose it, because it had no fuel, then it wouldn't start even when I jumpered the fuel pump relay, and then the fuel pump itself ran fine. I was testing for spark with a timing light, but after hours of crawling all over this thing in the sun on Saturday AND Sunday, I foolishly let my timing light cables get too close to the radiator fan and promptly thrashed it before I could tell that there was no spark.
Finally, decided today to pull and test each and every relay on the board. Almost stopped when I found the ignition one bad, but I forced myself to complete the task, then reached over and started it from the passenger seat.
I am one happy running-928 owner right now!

Yeah, when you drop a couple thousand on a car that doesn't run, every day until it runs you wonder if you've made an enormous mistake. 
Not that it might not still be, but the odds are definitely shifting!
