HOLY CRAP! No idea! That is great man! I was kinda worried when I got back in town and read your thread on the fit or yaris or whatever it was. While they are nice vehicles, they just didnt seem to fit you...you know, in the couple hours that I was around I became a source for all things steve

but you know what i mean...from a vx/elies combo to a yaris...the jump dint fit to me at least. But that TT seems right up your alley. If ever I take a 25 hour detour to Miami, you must take me for a ride.

Nice ride..I've had my eye on a wrecked one on ebay...Enjoy Transio

**transio** · 09/05/2006, 07:24 AM

Tanks, tanks... I'm on my way to Houston right now to pick it up. I should be heading back towards Miami later this afternoon. Anyone on I-10 east or I-75 south wanna hook up and get a bite or a beer?

Didn't get the car after all. It was a realy rough eBay scam car.

Ouch...Sorry to hear that! You should have taken the opportunity to test drive Rickster's VX

"No one has better taste than the one who shares the same tastes as you!" :-)

Whoa, that is wierd. We must be long lost twins. In my opinion, you and your wife have perfect taste.

I absolutely love the 928 and like you, have been watching the market for the perfect one. I'd love an '86.5, but I think I'll take any year if it's black over black. Let me know if you get one. We'll have to exchange pictures. And by the way, have you checked out www.rennlist.com? That's a great place for info on the 928, and a great group of people, much like this site.

928 used to be one of my favorite cars!

I'd like to get one some day, but probably would get a 993 first. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that many VX owners share the same taste in cars.

Goffaramma, thanks for this tip on Rennlist.com - I was not at all familiar with it, and was wondering where the heck the "good" 928 forum was on the web, as the one forum I have found so far was pretty weak.

Black-on-black is a nice color combo of course! I'm pretty open to color combos, as long as it's not this one:

I may take a look at these two this weekend, if I can find the time:

White/Red

Black/White

I will keep ya'll advised of any developments on the 928 front...

when i was in college i purchased my '88 924S with m030 suspension from a rennlist member and the only reason i was able to afford and maintain that car was the rennlist.

**goffaramma** · 09/07/2006, 07:42 AM

Hey VehiGAZ. Yeah, the rennlist is awesome. I'm on there all the time just lurking around, learning about all the fun, and trouble, one can get into with a 928. Both of the 928s you posted links to sound good, and the one with pics looks good as well. I test drove an '87 a couple of weeks ago down in Atlanta and it was in great shape, but it was red. I don't mind red, but I think it's just too flashy for me. But what a ride!

And Iamjacksadrenalgland, I'm with you on how useful rennlist can be. When I finally get a 928, I'm sure it'll come in handy for my do-it-yourselfer attitude.

Good luck this weekend VehiGAZ, if you go check anything out. I know you'll have fun if you do. It's so fun to look at and test drive different 928s that I know I'll miss it when I finally buy one. And get in on the rennlist because people there know what to look for when searching for a 928. They're really awesome in helping others out and I'm sure they'll love helping out another 928 fan.

Eureka! I think I found THE ONE !

Will keep you all updated...

**VehiGAZ** · 09/07/2006, 11:03 AM

Now that I actually read your story update Transio, I am really sorry for hijacking this thread...

That mess with the seemingly perfect TT absolutely sucks!!! After reading the whole story, I got that "Yeah, I guess it DID sound a little too good to be true" feeling. What a shame - it looked perfect in the photos! It's amazing what a camera can hide. You have my sympathies, Transio. Sorry it worked out so poorly.

What I have so much trouble understanding is why a dealer would post a piece of crap on eBay when it will surely become their headache when they piss off a legitamate buyer when they FLY out to pick up the car and discover it's a P-O-S!? I understand that an unscrupulous dealer would be happy to fleece a buyer by selling him a piece of crap, but they should KNOW that the buyer is a sucker before trying it! Don't try to pull the wool over knowing eyes...

PS - all future talk of 928s will go in a new thread.
