FWIW, I like 928s. Around here we call our 911 Track cars (my RS for example) "aero beetles".

My dad's pals would tell him that his 911 was a VW bug with lockwashers. I always suspected that got under his skin a bit......but he never let it show. He knew it was a special car.
He was old school. A Porsche was a Porsche - regardless of the model. He added a 928S years later. I don't think his friends 'got' the 928 either. Less flack from them though....probably because they had driven with him in the car. It was as special as the 911.

Sitting in the Toyota dealer waiting room yesterday (K's 4Runner got a new battery under warranty), I chanced to read the Motor Trend review of the latest 911 as a candidate for MT car of the year. The description included things like "affordable supercar", which it certainly is. Criticism came for the very dated interior styling, which like much of the design and styling are retained to keep the loyal buyers loyal. I guess when you drive new car designs every day, the familiar yet functional stuff seems dated. Nonetheless, I'd welcome a current 911 into the garage without a moment of hesitation. It would add more variety to the available driving experiences here.

I'm sure it varies by region and locale.
Most 911 drivers here either wave or "flash" when they see the 928 or the 911, but Panamera, Cayenne and Boxster drivers rarely acknowledge a wave or flash. Probably an owner demographic thing for the most part.
911 owners in the local PCA Region are great people and they show a great deal of interest in the 928 at local events and get-togethers. Actually get more interest and questions from them regarding the 928 than for the Turbo.

It would be nice to have a no holds barred, real Tech sub-forum for DIY owners. A place where you can post about vehicle problems, ideas, DIYs', etc. without having to listen to the n00b wannabes that dont want to get their hands dirty, or buy specialty tools, or precision equipment, dont now what Argon is, dont know the dif between MIG, TIG, or a Plasma cutter, and wouldnt know what to do with the tools anyway.
You know, the same Porsche owners that go to the Porsche dealer for a low tire diagnosis then get their feelings hurt when you cant believe what they just paid the dealer for a simple DIY. A sub forum where you challenge me to drop my Porsche engine because you think I dont know wtf Im talking about. A sub forum where no one gets offended for anything becuase were real men and not douchebag metro-sexual weannies.
Or maybe thats what RennTech.org is for?
Oh well, end of rant.

Ask him if his 911 was the worlds fastest production car in 1987..
Or ask him how he can actually eat and drive and not have airplane food waiting when he gets up to speed
