I'm going to have to find the 944 one and follow both. I've always loved the 928, but unfortunately don't really get to see too many of them.
I once pointed a really clean one out to my wife in a parking lot and asked her how old she thought it was. She guessed 2005 and didn't believe me when I told her how old the design really was. Had to whip out wikipedia before she believed me.

Today a guy was staring at the car, parked in front of my house. I was busy with the garden, then he came to me and asked if it was something like a race Version of an amc pacer. He recognized the style of rear quarter Glasses....

Friend with an 80's toyota supra said to me - isn't that the poor mans Porsche?
Me: No - that's what we called the supra in the 80's, the 928 cost almost $200K in Oz back then.
I was taking dad for a drive the other day and past a young kid - he nudged his girlfriend and said - "that's a Lamborghini". (I always wanted a Lambo so looks like I got the best of both worlds).

One of the most humorous moments for me:
I was driving in the Stepson with the windows down and pulled up at a light next to a panhandler/homeless guy at the corner. He says, "Hey, a 928!!! What year is that?" I tell him it's an '84.
This guy is severely grizzled and looks like he hasn't seen a bath in months. He says, "It'd probably look real good if you gave it a bath now and then" The light turned green and he could probably hear me laughing a mile away.

What year VW floorpan did you start with to build it?
I actually had a buddy that would ask this question on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills to the Ferrari owners.
If you've ever had a Ferrari in the air and looked at it, there's more truth to this than fiction....they look like kit cars with really beautiful sounding engines.

when I first got my car I made an appointment for a post purchase inspection at the foremost Porsche repair shop in the area. while filling out the required paperwork, I asked if they had worked on a lot of 928's, was told yes, by the owner, and that he had a convertible "over there" (pointing to a 968) in for service. for about 20 seconds we debated about Porsche making 928 convertibles, and he was clearly miffed as to why I quickly got in my car and drove off. still not amused that a 20+year business, specializing in Porsche, could possibly be that ignorant.
