Hello.
I love my current 928 project, lots of fun, will it ever drive again? Hell, who knows. The fun is the hobby.
One the other hand, by the grace of God I have been blessed to have the opportunity to work and the desire to work hard my whole childhood and adult life. I now have my last 2 kid's college PAID IN FULL. Thank God. My budget just eased up.
I am starting to seriously think about my DREAM 928.
Purpose: This car will be used by me and my wife to make multiple U Boat patrols cross country to visit all the places that make America great. North, South, East, and especially West, you better watch out, we're coming. So, a long distance cruiser.
1) Reliability is number 1
Which of the 928s would be considered the top for over the road reliability?
Does it only depend on owner/maintenance factors, or do certain models years stand out for long distance travel reliability?
2) Safety is number 2.
Brakes and suspension upgrades >>as they fit the long range cruising mission<< .
I would also like to install the state of the art lighting, I want to be able to peel the asphalt off the highway 30 miles away if needed,
I also want navigation and low visibility gear, including automotive FLIR application.
3) Comfort is number 3, the ninja supermodel is going to need a chair to end all chairs, heated, massage, cooled, etc....
SO that's my start.
4) has to be appearance. As a little boy, I had a wonderful recurring dream about a copper-colored 928, the color of a penny. I would like a matching/ complementing tartan interior.
Feel free to chime in. My time frame is 4 years from May 15 2022 and off we go.
