Hahahahaha. I shouldn't be laughing because I have 2 different sets of rims and tires waiting for my '84 to run again which hasn't seen the road since 2011. Can't pass up a good deal on Carrera IIIs and 2 piece GFG rims. Some day I'll see which I like better then save the other set for a 928 that I haven't bought yet. Hahaha...

... when you start dating a new gal and show her pictures of your 928, and she says only half joking "Gee - that's kind of ugly. I guess we could go out in it after dark."
That was our last date...

Right after I got the car, I had it parked in the underground parking at my office in Pasadena. Rode down the elevator with a few of our other engineers, and as we walked out into the parking area, one stopped stopped, stared at the car, and gave me a lecture about how 'lucky' I would get if I had a car like that. I listened politely for a minute, then popped the rear hatch to drop my briefcase in. Then the driver's door and asked if he wanted to "try it on". Took him a few seconds to recover, but he did try it on.

My finance VP at the time was a 30-ish "kid", with a new Mustang. He related that he'd been to the car wash on Saturday, and was miffed when some young hottie paid more attention to the dude in tennis whites driving an older Neon. Didn't she know that a guy with a new Mustang would be a better catch than a guy with a Neon? I shared with him that personal style is a better lure; anybody can buy a Mustang. He was a bit deflated. Same with a 928 or any other car -- Don't plan for it to be a ticket to sack time. Man makes the car, not the other way around.

You know you are a 928 addict when:
When you tell your friends that:
Yes it is like dating an aging super model who also happens to be a drunk crack addict that's always looking for your wallet.

you are about to do a routine oil change and decide it would be better just to pull the engine out completely and change all of the gaskets while you are "in there".
