He could hardly contain himself with the great feeling the car delivered as he drove it through that canyon. It was great seeing someone who'd never driven a 928 before get that silly grin on his face -- the same kind of grin I have almost every time I drive mine.

Love this at 5:12: "God, it's beautiful" Pretty much sums it up for me. Matt is my new favorite.

With skyrocketing 911 prices and Magunus walker and Matt jumping on the bandwagon - can't help but think there will be serious rise in $ on them?

Further perpetuating the myth that S4 indicates 4 valves/cylinder and not the 4th generation. Other than that a good video and very high praise for such an old car. I love just about everything about the 928, but I'm a bit biased. I expected him to be a bit more critical considering all the cars he's had seat time in.

That's high praise given that the guy has driven just about everything under the sun, and usually heavily modded. Was surprised that he said it revs slow. Somebody should lend him one with a twin clutch.

Beautiful car, with incredibly low mileage.
I can't stand that wooden steering wheel though.
I realize that's a totally subjective thing.
But I just think it looks so out of place...
