Wait, that doesn't really work.

I'm not sure how the rabbit hole that is YouTube landed me on a video of a 928, but Doug Demuro has to be one of the most annoying people on the planet.

The car is kind of cool, though, automatic? Ugh. :(

He's a weirdo but I think his videos are quite entertaining. His review style is unique and he seems to have a lot of fun filming them.

The rear sun visor hitting him in the face. :lol:

yeah he is goofy but his videos are watchable

Those rear seats look almost smaller then my turbo, width wise at least.

Growing up, a neighbor had a surprise party and one of the guests hid their 928 in our garage.

My sister had a Black 928S with a manual back in the 90's ... the only thing I remember about that car other than how beautiful it was was that it was also in the shop A LOT !!

I was pretty close to buying one a few years ago, and went to Sharks in the Mountans (https://www.928gt.com/t-sitm.aspx). Most people said they loved their car, wouldn't trade / sell, etc. But in the evenings at the social hangout, I got a lot of "Psssttt - wanna buy a 928?" whispers from people. Most said that they'd sell the running car, a mostly-working rolling chassis, and a parts car (or boxes of parted-out car) as a package.

Jeremy Clarkson has described the 928 as having "a Biblical level of unreliability". Skip to 1:25 in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jPaYnaKVDk).

It wasn't until many years later that we learned why (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfAWixMKwEA) he likes the 928 despite that.

That body style sure has held up well, after all these years. Still very sharp!
