Amar congrats again.
Any new thoughts on using black matts vs staying with red?

Presently in Pacific Northwest visiting my sister-in-law & her family in West Seattle.
Was able to contact Amar & some of the other Porsche enthusiasts that meet each
Sunday morning for early breakfast in Issaquah. Great to see all of these guys again.
And Amar brought his new-to-him 987 Spyder to show us. Beautiful car. I forget how
merlot-color is the 'Carrera Red'. Was quite surprised as that was not my memory of
it when I had my '12 Aqua/Carrera Red Spyder.

Saludos,

Black floor mats look out of place. JPMD: If you like red floor mats (Like I did) I would not change it.

The buyer of my Spyder # 1 recently told
me how happy he was with his buy. To quote him the car is truly a perfect blend of modern day reliability and old school tactility.

You guys are killing me...
I sold my second Spyder a couple months ago and I am having withdrawals.
I tried to buy the Aqua Blue one that went up for sale today but it literally sold within hours and I was second in line.....
I am trying to decide if I want to buy a white one but I think the one I am looking at is just too much $....
I will likely sell my 356 Speedster replica that I just bought and buy another 987 Spyder....
But I am also #1 on the list at my dealer for a 718 Spyder...and I am not sure I want to get rid of my Carrera T.......

The 987 Spyder is just a sweet sweet car for so many reasons..amazing to drive and beautiful to look at also....

Update: Spyder are now amphibious. They breathe fire both in land and water
