oh how said. Michael experienced a steep decline in his business and his personal life over the last few years. Honestly, I’m not surprised to hear this. Michael was always good to me. I know he had a lot of haters and I think he kinda revealed in the fact that he could get such an emotional rise out of people.

.....if the truth be known, he single handily did more for the rising values of the 928 then any one person.

Godspeed my friend.

I had no idea...... Love him or hate him, he was a truly unique man with a God given talent as a hell of a salesman!

No worries man. I knew he was in serious trouble, didn't know he passed. Do you know if it was due to natural causes?

Thanks Nate. You guys had a lot of nice things to say about Michael. Michael and I talked many many times over the years. I always found him to be an honest guy and never did or said anything to make me think otherwise. Greg mentioned in the thread you referenced about finding things on cars he sold and that MW would take care of the issue. I know of a similar story with a GTS he sold a bunch of years ago. He was the epitome of the exuberant salesman. As mentioned earlier, he single handedly did more for the values of our cars then any one person. Personally, I will miss him, his phone calls, texts and emails. What a guy! Godspeed Michael!

Sad to hear of his passing. Sad to hear of his troubles at the end of his life. Makes me wonder if all of the stress of his world being upside down had any contribution to his health decline. Early in my jaunt in to the world of 928s I remember reading his story of why he had a special passion for 928s. It was after he survived a high speed accident in one, and gave all credit of his & girlfriend's survival to how well built a 928 is. God Speed indeed Micheal, I hope your in a 5 speed GTS in heaven right now!
