Hey I'm a new member (thanks to my dad!)
I (we) just got (going to pick-up, next week) an '87 blk/blk auto

There is lots I want to do. My dad says read ALL the Rennlist topics, and search on items you are interested in.

I'll upload pics later.

Driving a power car at 16 but drinking a beer at 21 is something difficult for us Europeans to imaging. You are lucky for driving a Porsche 928 but be carefull.

Congrats on the car, it's going to be a lot of fun for ya. I got your dads message and replied in kind.

I would have loved an '87 928 when I was 16, I doubt I would have lasted very long.

Hopefully dad has trained you well..............my 16YO has a Chev Chevelle '72 and I worry.

Welcome to Rennlist........read lots

blown 87

But you would have known how fast it would go though.

My first car in '80 was a '77 Honda Civic... Second was my OWN car '80 Triumph Spitfire...thankfully my dad knew better than to hand me the keys to anything more powerful. I would have died! I think my Spit had just shy of 70HP! LOL!

Congratulations! When I was 17 - My Mom handed me the keys to a 1978 Pontiac Trans Am - 6.6 Hurst 4 spd. (Smokey and the Bandit - ask your Dad - LOL)

Granted 220 hp isnt 316 hp but still - Its doesnt matter how much HP u have. Anyone can get into trouble if they do not practice responsibility.

Be careful and take it slow learning the car. Dont let fools try to talk you into street racing. All I can say is Know when to say when.

Again - congrats and welcome to the insanity!

Welcome to the club. It's cool to see another teenager with a 928. Just keep it cool and you'll be fine

Welcome. You will learn much from reading and asking questions here as you probably already know. Just remember your driving a car thats 5 years OLDER than you and if you want it to last...take it easy.

Glad my 16 year old doesn't know about reenlist. Welcome and be safe.

Wow!

I would have loved one as a teen. I got to drive my dad's 79 which I eventually bought from him, but only on certain occasions.

Remember what Peter Parker's uncle told him, "With great power comes great resonsibility".

Not that you should live your life like a comic book hero, but it is a great quote and very much applies here!

This thread just made me realize, my daughter will be his age in less than a year. She wants a 928.

I'm fooked, because then she will be posting here............. And no, I will not post pictures of her.

I actually met Rick Jr at Thunderhill back in 09....he was quite good at push starting the racer!!!

a 928 S4 for a 1st car...WOW..... I will have to send your dad the tricks to turn down the HP in your ride!!! :>)

I remember my 1st car...it happened to be a 1988 Chrysler Conquest Tsi...with 188hp-234 torque in a 3000lb car...NOT a good choice for me at 16 years old....far from it really...I am still stunned I didn't kill or cripple myself in that thing!!!

Definitely take a PCA Teen Driving course.
