Default Put my 928s in a car show.

Put it in our local car show. There's 142 other vehicles. I had the only Porsche. Actually had the only non-American car

Very good, and very nice 928. Did people take a look and talk to you about it?
When I was at a show with old American cars with V8s they (owners) were surprised that my car was a 4.7L V8, they thought it was a smaller displacement motor -Matt

I like taking my Corvair to local American car cruise nights. Everyone stares as I drive up, and then I park amongst the Camaros and Mustangs and Chevelles, pop the engine lid (rear) and sometimes the trunk (front) and walk away. It is fun to come back later and stand nearby listening to all the funny things people say about it (often wrong or untrue). I look forward to doing that with my 928 as well.

Your car looks very nice by the way. I think my fender and hood are the same color as your car. They came off an '86. What year is your car? Your signature says '87 S4...

I took the catalytic convertor off my 83 US model and a guy in my neighborhood asked me if I had a 327 in it...since I had never talked with him before (after walking by his house pretty much every day for 10 years and waving) I was momentarily speechless about how he even knew I owned a Porsche...come to find out he saw me at the local gas station one day and when he heard the car start his best guess was that I had put a small block chevy in it...another verification of the average persons perception of the 928.

Thats a great looking car ,
if your not going to be driving the car with snow tire chains,
you might consider adding a set of bolt on rear wheel spacers,
to kick out the rear wheels.

That Thunderchicken looks sharp as well

Cool ^^^^^^^

Must have been a multi-state event. There can't possibly be that many cool cars living in ND......

I was surprise to see so many high dollar cars from ND. There was even a frame off restored Nash from in state.
