I love the car it is fantastic that is why I BOUGHT ONE!
Took it to work this morning and the Monday morning comute was almost fun my benz was nice but just ZERO on the fun meter.
Miami,

Now that you got your battery issue resolved, let's get down to the important stuff. It is customary for "Newbies" to post a few pics of their car. So consider this your "newbie Initiation!"

Come on, Newbie, post the @#$%^&* pics!

oh dont get me going. The 911 or 996 isnt a pimple on the *** of a 928. Yes I have owned both. Just sadly, I wanted something a little newer, with parts that are easier to find. Something the girls looked at more . But other than that, the 928 is one hell of a car when set up properly and taken care of.

Kyle.

Just use a little "white out" on your screen and no one will notice the "extra" word in your sig message.
