Rained all weekend, but sun came out today. So, played hooky and took the spyder up the Mountain from Prescott to Jerome. The kind of drive these cars are made for.

Marv, I figured that had to be the spot for that picture! I remember a couple years ago taking my GT3 on that road with my older son. We were lucky to get home in one piece and with our driver's licenses intact! When I bring the Spyder down to AZ, that will be one of the first places I take it, along with 89A north of Sedona!!

Beautiful shot! Nothing like this car and a sunny day to justify playing hooky

Guys, this is not helping my case. I need the price of the 987 Spyder to go down so I can buy one on the cheap next year. These posts are a rock on my boat.

Now is the time to buy the 987.2 spyder as I believe they are currently a bargain compared to the 981 spyder

Yes, we are blessed with so many great driving roads here in Arizona. If you are in the PCA I hope you get here in time for the Porsche's to Prescott.

LOL, the market hasn't changed yet for the 987 Spyder but I'm hoping it will as we approach the 5year mark.

Figured you guys would like to see a couple of PTS Spyders in the wild. Both of us are Rennlister's as well...

Riv Blue and Gelb Green

Only regret I have is not getting the LWB's but with Michigan weather I like having heated seats...

Wow! Those are two amazing cars and colors. I'm more partial to the blue but that green is pretty gorgeous as well.

Both cars are stunning. The green is particularly surprisingly beautiful.
