I am also allowed to talk because I am a former 928 owner, and this is the best comment although I made money off my car (SUCKER).5chn3ll wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2019 9:29 am I have never before seen $1,700 worth of 928's in the same place at the same time. Very cool!

Well, we had seven 928 owners at PCA breakfast, but only 6 cars as one was in the shop (shocker, I know). Then, only 5 made it over to the museum for cars and coffee. But, not a bad turnout for short notice.

Glad to see at least 2 had good taste in colors even if their automotive choices as suspect
The first badly colored one looks like it has one of the wheels you were considering for the TT, did you get a good look at them?

28.6% attrition rate seems normal from all the snarky comments here.FRUNKenstein wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 12:30 pm Well, we had seven 928 owners at PCA breakfast, but only 6 cars as one was in the shop (shocker, I know).

Actually 80% would be normal. This was a good turn out indeed!32wildbilly wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 4:32 pm28.6% attrition rate seems normal from all the snarky comments here.FRUNKenstein wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 12:30 pm Well, we had seven 928 owners at PCA breakfast, but only 6 cars as one was in the shop (shocker, I know).

Yep, I noticed that, too. They look good in person. Definitely would be a solid choice. That being said, the other option comes in 8.5 and 11 inch widths and a lighter color than my current wheels and are less expensive. So, I am 90% sure I'm going with them.
