Wicked Pissah thread (as they'd say back where I used to live in MA) (aka Awesome, Fantastic, Couldn't Have Been Better).

I am a new 928S owner and haven't even finished setting up my profile. I have been reading and reading everything I can find on 928's in Rennlist for a couple months. My car was abused by the previous owner but I have high hopes I will restore it to better than new (with all your support of course).

The list at the top of this thread was Wicked Pissah - from what I learned while restoring car some of the points were already familiar. The rest I am taking note of 'cause I am sure I will be experiencing them in the near future.

Not on the OP's list:

Fixing window switches with an exacto knife and a flat head screwdriver.

all of the above plus: You keep copies of "928 Data" on several hard drives so if one drive crashes, you don't loose everything. You have a USB memory stick labeled "928 data" so you can access data with your laptop while working on your car. You keep a box of nuts, bolts, brackets, and misc. parts that you took off the car while doing various R&R work 'Just in case'. You have more pictures of 928s in your computer than your dog/cat, wife/girlfriend, or family. You NEVER let the 'valet' park your car.

How about having the link to Rob Edwards 928 torque specs page saved on your smart phone browser? Many times have referenced that while contorted under the car

When someone asks 'do you have a PET ?', I say 'yeah, MY 87-91 on my desktop'.

You can check the oil, and reinsert the dip stick in the dark.

You have all the major parts vendors phone numbers and emails saved in your iPhone for quick reference. And have text threads active with at least one.

Roger knows your phone number and calls you by name before you say a word
