Spotted a GT Silver Spyder w/red top yesterday on 92 Eastbound between 101 and 280. First time seeing a red top Spyder IRL.

It is unfortunate that you can't take the red top without the classic interior

btw - if anyone is interested, this is how they split

Entire AC unit is defective so they are in the middle of replacing it all. They said it should be ready sometime this week. Originally it was just the AC Extractor valve and i was supposed to pickup the car monday but they found more stuff wrong with the AC so hence the delay.

wow that's a pretty major fail on the QC at the factory and the PDI at the POI!

fingers crossed that the fix fixes it!

BTW next Boxster brunch at Alices is 4/1 let's aim for that and hope the weather improves by then!
