drspeed will become famous soon enough
waiting for the 928 to die....it's indestructible!

My old man has an 87' S4 he bought new. Its had a valve job, several radiators, a transmission overhaul (by a non porsche shop that pressed a bearing on the torque tube themselves to save money). Its got exhaust leaks and the heat pours into the cabin. It slams into gear on the first upshift so hard that it has worn the rear tires prematurely because of it. The car hasn't been redlined in the last decade - guaranteed. The brake pedal is very spongy and the master cylinder doesn't provide for full stopping power. It's sad on one hand, but on the other it says a lot about porsche build quality. Its got 155k and its doing better than our 87' S class did before it died 5 years ago with 175k on the odometer.

I'm waiting for the engine to grenade and shoot a piston through the misaligned hood that's been painted at least 5 times and won't close without "the touch".
