I think it's interesting that someone bought 4 Spyders. I have no idea how they were configured but it's something to think about. I wonder who it was? Jerry Seinfeld?

Sometimes I think about buying a second one just to take it apart.

Were they ordered to spec? What were the highlights of the builds? What are his plans and what was his motivation?

In a similar vein, local sales person sold 3 918s to an executive! One for the street, track; and, the third to be stored! The buyer even took the sales person to Weissach for European Delivery. Pretty cool!

I would doubt one person got 3 allocations of the 918 with the number released to NA

I'd love to buy two, let alone 4!!

Side note, how do you like your 335 compared to the rest of your impressive stable? I have a 2007 335 e90, that I have said I will never sell! It's been 9 years, and the car I have held on to the longest so far (besides my '49 *****'s CJ3A)

I'll let him speak for himself if he wants.

But, suffice it to say, he agrees with me that the Boxster Spyder is the best car P has produced in a while.

Wife's car. POS. I'd rather go to the dentist than drive it.

The 335i Cab is just depressing IMO.

I have a 2011 E90 335xi. Love it. Will drive it till the wheels fall off. No car does what that car does.

Three 918's? He should have taken him on the space shuttle.
