First it was the article this morning about the rotary-powered 968. I cringed a bit when I saw it, reminded of the ‘93 I drove for years and how much I loved the torquey engine in that thing. As good as it felt, however, the sound was never quite right. By pure coincidence I discovered that Risky Business was playing tonight, complete with that sweet 928. That sound, oh my god, that sound. I had forgotten how good that engine sounded. I generally prefer an I6 over almost anything else, but the sound of that 16V engine was getting me a bit excited. Could that 968 be rescued by putting in the engine from a 928?
Back when I was young and thin I was frequently mistaken for Tom Cruise, although I am a bit taller and several years younger; 32 years and 50+ pounds later that’s not likely to occur again. Now I’m going to have to dig through the CD collection and find that soundtrack as I’m finding that to be one of my favorite aspects of this film. Listening to Tangerine Dream whilst driving at night brings up memories of this flick and youthful days gone by. Back then my folks would go on vacation leaving me with a big house in the suburbs and some nice German machinery in the garage, but for better or worse I never thought of recreating all aspects of this film in real life...
