Cool thing I discovered - was reading about the design of the 928 in the new 000 magazine, and decided to look at images of the Mercedes C111 and the 1970 Chevelle, and compare those shapes to our car. Did a Google search of the 928, and my car pops up first! Lots of Blumaxx pictures in the results, and not just from Hemmings, but from PVGP and other venues. Wonder how that works, and I wonder if it is only on my IP address, since the search engine recognizes me and my car?

What do others get? Google up 928 images and see if your car populates on top, and share the results. Would love to know how "smart" these search engines are.

Well, mine doesn't show up, which isn't surprising.

It's not that noteworthy.

Searching "Porsche 928" images, Bluemaxx (or its twin) is in the top row. But that seems to be the only one near the top.

Searching "928" images, not until the 11th row down.

Interesting.

Mine is the 9th image when I did a search on my iPhone. Pics taken by PO, not me.

Funny, my Uncle just did a Google search on my name (same name as his brother) and the Hemmings Sport and Exotics magazine picture of me and my 928 showed up. He was very surprised and gave me a call to tell me.

I thought it was in VA. Was that before the MA owner or am I remembering it wrong?
