Yeah, you say that now. Ask Dick van Patten what went down when they brought in Ralph Macchio as the 9th Bradford. You might wind up getting the Ted McGinley 928.

I drove my 928 through the winter for about 3 years before getting a new daily driver. With snow tires on a set of 15" phone dials it handled the snow well. A couple years ago I drove the 928 in the snow with my regular z-rated tires on 17" rims (daily driver in the shop). Trying to get the 928 going again after stopping mid-way up the hill on a snow-covered road was NOT fun. I won't be trying that again!

John,

LOL! That is FUNNY!!! We always said "8" was the bad number in my old company too. Seemed like most folks who had won 8 national sales awards found themselves out of work! I only had 6 when I was punted... I hope that is not the case with my 928's!!!

I love Sweet Pea, she is a great car...and I'm glad you like her name! She has quite a personality and she's doing rather well. You may not ever see her again though, Maddy has decided that the car should be hers

Brian,
You had no idea you were sending your car to an ice box did you?! LOL! I can't wait to see Brian's smile while driving his car! Hope that will be soon and that the car is everything you are hoping it will be Brian! Are you guys going to be able to put Euro S cams in it? That would be a nice little bump in power and performance...since you are already in there and replacing one cam anyway!

Sean said he was going to see if that was possible and then let me know.
(Fingers crossed!)

Yes.....yes it is!





Brian, I came up with a name and I haven't even sat in the car yet!!!!!!

I have to say, I started naming other peoples cars after Stretch's car lived with us for a while. Let's just say she didn't make Sean's job easy, a bit of a wicked streak in that one.....so I named her "Black Widow."

Angela seems to like girl names. And it's a deutsche Auto. And it's Braun. How about EVA?
