Maverick "People can look at the cars, they may not like them, and the 928 click is filled with pundits and nay sayer's and many so called experts as well as critics if not out right haters that fill up the chat boards with bile. But they can weigh in say anything they wish and they do! But at the end of the day they would all be hard pressed to find anyone in the country who has restored, modified, customized and created more one of a kind unique Porsche 928's, 944 Turbos and 924 Turbos in the country".

I guess he told us.

We can say what we want, but 20 years from now he will own 100 928's and they'll be worth $100,000 a piece on average.

Maverick forgot to mention losing his buddy Goose back in the 80's and also his Shuttle flying experience, oh and his knighting by the Queen (not the Freddy Mercury version...)

That would be about like me advising John Glenn to give that orbit around the globe a try.
What a dingle nut lying character that guy is.
Wow! His bio reads like a novel, when did the dude have time to sleep???

He was in College around the same time I was and I was a big time Southwest Conference football fan when I went to Texas Tech. I didn't remember ever hearing about him so I Looked up the 89-92 roster and did not see his name anywhere???

Probably just those 928 haters messing with the record of his heroic history.

Was at Barnes & Noble and saw the latest issue of Heavy Hitter Magazine and it had a spread that included a collection of 928s including the Bob Devore "highwayman" car. The collection was owned by a young African American guy named Martin in So Cal. Anyone know this collection?
^^^^I was literally going to post the exact same thing. The cars looked great though. So who's car did he steal?

The AFI Film School where he marveled at Porsche 928 racer and 928 International shop owner Mark Anderson running circles around newer Porsche GT 3’s and Porsche Cup cars
He says he has over 60 of them so obviously he must have some passion for these cars.

Problem is, a loaf of bread will be $10,000 and your average entry level new car will be $225,000

This piqued my curiosity so I did look up the old threads and checked the internets for more about this character. Looks like this guy has a number of names and the wiki associated with the Maverick Marsalis name is so far fetched it Is hilarious

Google zia nation syndicate and it comes up with www.thefullwiki.org/Maverick_Marsalis which is worth a read.
Nothing like someone crafting their own page full of links to dead external sites. Everything this guy touches seems to die

Every time I have met Maverick its been fun, unique takes on the 928 and a genuine enthusiast for Porsches. He has an incredibly smooth manner, that I suspect has convinced some people to do some foolish things, but other than being aware of stories about him, I don't judge people on things I don't know.
