Signs of impending disappointment for a new 928 owner:
"I spent every nickel I had to buy my shark, I hope it doesn't need any repairs for a while, I'm broke"
"I've never worked on a car myself, I don't even own basic tools"
"I got a great deal. Sold my reliable daily driver because I only have one outdoor parking space at my apartment building. All I own now is the 928."
"I know nothing about mechanical stuff. I did find a mechanic who say's he's seen a 928, but never really had to work on one. He does speak with a cool foreign accent and has foreign cars sitting around his shop."
"I hear the good thing about German cars is that they're built like tanks. I mean, drive the wheels off it for a couple hundred thousand miles and maybe change the oil now and then"
"Sure, the parts are a bit expensive, when you need Porsche originals. So, I save where I can by using generic motor oil, budget coolant, heck, I just snagged a used timing belt off Ebay, in case I ever need one, but I doubt I'll change the timing belt unless it breaks or something."
"$350.00 for shop manuals? I don't think so. I'll just guess and try to apply MY extensive knowledge which I gained by fixing the family lawn mower for years."
"Come on, I only paid $6,000 for this car. I'm not dumping $2,000 in preventive maintenence parts into it...........(hot chick walks by)."hey baby, this was a $70,000.00 car not long ago!!!" (see the irony)
And the number one sign of impending disapointment for a new 928 owner is......"Rennlist, Big 3?, never heard of them!"
