Hi all - yesterday my son wanted to take some pics of the Spyder. Just thought I'd share!










Here's big brother!

I love it! This was my top choice, but I had a hard time finding this combo with the options I wanted.

Enjoy. I like your color choice. What was the history of the car?

Thanks everyone! Really like the Spyder - what the Boxster should have been all along. Thinking about the typical bolt-ons for a little more power but the car is pretty quick to begin with. Not GT3 fast but no slouch for sure. The only other thing I'd change would be to reduce the amount of rebound in the dampers as the car is a little nervous on bumpy roads. Then again, that's some of the fun in driving (rather than riding) in the car! It's interesting to me that the GT3 is a more "planted" car. I guess this was done in an attempt to get as much speed as possible out of the car...

JPMD - pics were taken in a small town near me - Kernersville NC.

Thanks!
BC
