Exactly.

I can't believe anyone thinks that they do anything except ruin the clean lines of the 928.

You can choose to have missing paint on your rub strip or missing paint on the smooth flowing lines of a stripless 928. I'll take the latter.

Thanks Tom. I miss it, even though it was a Rogerbox. It was also extremely reliable - only had one mysterious no-start issue that I never did figure out the cause of.

And that's funny about the burgundy interior, seems to be roundly disliked, but I actually liked it.
