My $1k928 is off to a full disassembly repaint, removing rub strips, and will be awesome.

But then I realized I'll be without a 928 for a month.



So I did some emotional retail therapy work.





Problem solved.

I know the feeling... I'd just do another bathroom remodel - NOT!

(I don't have any more bathrooms left... but thanks for hosting the 928 while the contractors were doing the dirty work)

That's what I'm doing.

Only my 81 will (and has been for a month due to gauge issues) be down when I regasket the engine and the S4 has taken its place.

So far it has worked well, only caveat is I can't drive the S4 as fast as the 81 lol.

Congrats on adding another 928 to the fold

I bought a 928 when my 944 was down for a new clutch.

My justification was that I would be saving all the money I would have spent for a rental to drive, while I saved even more money by doing the clutch myself.

Oh, the lies we tell ourselves.

We all need a substitute!
After 4 weeks in the shop my 928 substitute is back.






2001 Audi S8 from Japan

Everyday driving my farm car the VW Caddy is boring!
