As to why I agree with what Sterling has said, Sold my wifes '90 in dang near pristine shape, only to see it 1.5 years later and it was trashed. I know it shouldn't matter what the new owner does, some of us feel a bit more towards these cars that others. It was not a fun feeling seeing it that way. I get a sick feeling anytime I see one of these beauties burnt, crashed, or have things happen to them due to operator error.

Hi Dave, you must be new here.
Lots of us have given Sterling **** on his car, and quite a few people (Abby included) have been less than nice towards his car, my car, everyones cars. And most do not resort to nasty PM's. Some have even gone so far as to have the mods remove comments because they got butthurt. It's not new.

Giving different opinions (negative or otherwise) about a mod, change or upgrade to a car..or even an "I told you so", is one thing. A personal attack upon the individual is a whole nuther thing, even more so without any real knowledge of the situation.
Cheers,
Dave

we need to start a 30 day imposed wait period when someone is selling a nice well cared for or unique 928. To make damn sure the new owner isnt a tool who will ruin the car and blame it on the former owner or the forum... I f the buyer is the real deal, then this won't be a problem....

I know of people who could do it in less time then that!
How did this go from new owners trashing cars to mod bashing and hate mail?

Hell if I know, Transporting greasy parts in the hatch w/o laying anything down on the linen carpet. Brakes wear down to metal on metal and just drive on them for months. Never clean/wash/treat/change oil/fix anything.
It was depressing.

The eclectic nature of the 928 community is one of its greatest strengths and a large reason why I still own a 928 and go to events such as SITM, SIH. The central Ohio 928 community is a strong tolerant group, they put up with me, always willing to help each other; it is a microcosm of 928 members at large.

Don't sweat it, I think you and I have accidentally fallen into the "Ferrari Forum".... I am gonna try clearing the cache on my browser and manually typing in the URL for the 928 Forum...hopefully that will work...you should try it too.
Have a great 928 weekend..what's left of it.
Cheers,
Dave

This thread is a reflection upon the person that started it. I did not send any nasty PM's to sterling. I stated I didnot like his comment and that he could say it to me personally. Then he wrote back that I have been begging for money, and asking for free parts for my car. I stated that that was not true, please show me the proof and he was unable. He keeps attacking me and I tried to explain the situation and it falls on deaf ears. If he thinks I acted like a 16yr old and trashed this car that's his opinion.
The two previous owners know differently. I have not bashed ED he is my friend. There were issues with the car so what it is a car. Sterling acts like it was the holy grail and that she was perfect. Well it is a 27 yr old car with a custom blower on it! Hello!
He talks about perserving the beauty of the 928 but he takes a blow tourch to his and changes its lines? I don't understand that.
Please feel free to post my nasty PM's
Please feel free to show me were I begged for money.
Please feel free to show me were I asked for free parts.
Please I dare you. You need to stop slandering me and my name.
Lets settle this the old fashion way. I will be more than happy to rent some gym time and put on the gloves. Win or lose the beers are on me when we are done.
I am a little tired of all these tough guy's sitting behind their keyboards pontificating upon their own greatness!
