Default HIS & HER'S...HERS IS FASTER!

I really enjoyed my 911 but I have to admit the 928 is a lot more comfortable. Plus, I think Randy looks really good in my rear view mirror.

OK, I get it. "His" has the rear window wiper stick, "hers" doesn't!

I would think it takes more power to spin the wider wheels than what is made up for in reduced drag, but what do I know. Driver weight is probaly a factor, too, at least it would be in this household.

His/her 928's is a goal of mine.

I was thinking of using Southwest Airlines as a model in my argument for twin 928's. It will go something along the lines of:

"You know, honey, those guys at Southwest Airlines run a good company, one of the most efficient in the airline business. And one of fundamentals of their business model is the use of a single airplane type throughout their system. This commonality REDUCES training and maintenance costs vs. a multi-airplane type fleet. So, too, could such savings be experienced in our own household with the adoption of the 928 as our personal transportation platform."

Think it'll fly? (pun intended)

Similar thing here, two red OB's side by side, hers is 32V.

But yours and Randys each faster than both of ours.

It's not often enough for married couples to enjoy the same things. Very damned lucky that we do and you do. As to speed, how many viagra could be a factor. Unfortunately our insurance doesn't cover it.

He's gonna' kill me when he reads this.....

Cheryl/Randy.

I know the pain. Mine was not stock, hers was stock. I got beat by a bumper.

Now knowing what she has and what you have..........she kicked your ***.

Well you all missed the real answer.

HIS is a lowly 5 speed

HERS is an awesome automatic - SC what does SC have to do with it.

"Besides, on the far side of 50 corny becomes a regular past time!"
Cheryl you are so right BTW when are you going to dump the boring old fart and come on home to PaPa 8>) My GTS would look even better next to yours. And we would both have automatics.

On the white one, what's that sticker say above the "928 GTS"?
