Got the little red car out of its winter hibernation, and started preping it for the road. Have some work to do, need to replace the high pressure Power Steering hose and a few other minor upkeep issues. Reinstated the insurance and it is almost ready for the short summer driving season. The photo is from before I put it away.

Cool, it is always a pleasure to drive a good car after you have been away from it for a while.

Great looking Shark! I like those wheels too. They look like they have some nice width to them.

Wyatt,

Thanks, Roh Sekta's and they do 17*9.5 60mm offset at all four corners, 255/40 fronts and 285/40 rears. Big rubber on the front is the best thing you can do for a 928's handling. Turn in is much sharper and braking is really imporved. The 928 never had enough tire on the front from the factory.

I took mine out today.
Nice, cool sunny day.
Everything's good.
Hope it will stay that way for the whole summer.

Great to drive the 928 again. Great car...

Hey Paul, Got mine on the road a little over a week ago, after replacing the Alt as my other had started to go south in the fall... Took it last weekend for a run down to Mohegan Sun Casino for a concert and some Casino games... Felt great to be out Autobahning 89 through Boston to Conn. Let me know if you need a hand... Heres to a great summer of running the Green Mtns! See you soon!

Very nice Paul, I love that color

I pulled mine out for the first time this year. The streets were a bit wet from a light snow today
but I just had to take her to the car wash and for a 20 min drive.



you can see where the fender covers were in the next photo


But now it is clean
