Not the most sought-after model but five of them nonetheless.

    At least it’s a safe neighborhood lol, crazy that being left out in street parking for 10 years hasn’t caused them to be vandalized or broken into

      Maybe not completely abandoned, but they do not move. Never have. They have been there since I was in elementary school. I’m now 30, and they’re still there. Still unmoved.

        They’re not there anymore. You can move the street view away from the house for an October 2023 update to see that they’re gone.

        I live in the area and realize I hadn’t seen these cars in a while. They’re definitely gone.

    Ha. I know exactly where that house is. I’ve always hoped the owner would pull the best parts off each car and make one solid daily, but alas they never move.

      You are destined to be the owner that person could not. Buy the lot for 20k and build a lovely 928.

      Small world! I haven’t lived near there for a few years now. Google said this image is from 2023. I have no reason to believe they are no longer there.

    Abandoned cars that don’t move and aren’t registered can be legally claimed by anyone willing to file the proper paperwork. It is similar to squatter laws.

    Dayum you guys are lucky; the neighbors called the county on us and we forced to donate my NA Miata with 80K miles that was parked in our driveway.

    Montgomery County Maryland. Illegal to have an unregistered car in your private driveway of a single family residence. Illegal to park a boat in your driveway. Illegal to sell Christmas trees before December 2nd. Literally worse than California.

    Sadly, these are all gone now. The elderly gentleman who owned them was a real sweet guy and pleasant conversationalist, from the brief chat I had with him a couple years back. “I just love these cars, its as simple as that. I’m so lucky my wife puts up with my obsession.” was his entire spiel on the 928s. And since the 928s all disappeared one by one over the last year or so, I sadly wonder if he has also left this world.

    Dude, I live a few blocks away from this guy in NP too. For the past year or so, I haven’t seen these cars out front. Think the guy either moved or passed away ☹️

      What’s with so many of you guys being from this area? You’re like the fifth person to say something. It’s absolutely insane to me that I could post a picture of my old hometown, and so many of you guys recognize it.

      Someone else also said they are no longer there. But they actually had a conversation with him. Apparently, he just liked the 928s. It wouldn’t surprise me if he passed, honestly. They were there for what seemed like forever.

    NP? Where?

    Edit: oh Newberry Park. I could tell it was Calif. Since I’m from Los Angeles but not NP. Now I know and if you find the owner, I’d like a white one… ❤️

    I lived in NP 20 years ago and he was collecting those back then! Glad to see he’s still in the run !
