in the late 70's, my brother took his very rich gf to Houston to buy a car. She had a $40k cashier check and they were headed to get a 450SL. Steve had hear Porsche had a new car so they stopped to look.
Walked out with one of the first 928 in texas! Drove it around College station Texas for a couple of years.
BTW, her car before the 928 had be the 6cylinder Supra from Toyota.

Driving the 928 was VERY different. (my current car was a 66 mustang straight six)
THe dash was a pod that tilted down with the steering wheel. the seats were longer and you 'laid back'. and those were the widest, stickiest tires I had ever seen on a regular mass produced car. Oh, and it 'seemed' fast at the time.
