Oh, no - drove a 928 S4 today (NAC)

[Scott Wood]

ditto...

I was, at one point, considering trading the CQ and drove a 928 and
absolutely loved it.  My first experience with a car with SERIOUS brakes. 
Night and day.  The Porsches are definately drivers cars.  I doubt it
really matters which model.  I will certainly buy one at some point. 
Probably when mine reaches that same 'cost of repairs' point.  Right now,
it's just too good not having car payments!
