Default Where Are The Speedsters

Just pulled her out for a wash first time all year, and each time I drive I understand why it’s the car I’ve owned the longest 6 years and running.

Apparently in owner’s garages.

Beautiful car!

Some of just drive, it’s a car. The market will get you better returns than a car, oh well I drive in the rain too 😎

Not many out there, drive when you can, we're only able to for a short time.

Right on, Maverick787. Agree 100% -- every drive is still a thrill after all of these years!

Unfortunately only used once this year, but at least it was for a 5 day road trip in the mountains.

Speedsters are amazing. I came close to buying one on multiple occasions but I just couldn’t do it. I totally understand why they demand the money, so don’t mistake my comment. I just already have a highly optioned manual .2 GT3 and .2 Turbo S Cab already (and I adore them both for different reasons) so the overlap would be too close for $400K-ish.

If I could only have one car, I sell them both plus the others and go get a Speedster. And then I’d promptly ruin it by driving the hell out of it. But whaddya do.

Funny how “I drive it in the rain” is somehow a flex. Weird world.

Not a flex at all, I know many car owners that will not drive their pretty cars in the rain it’s a real thing. My Speedster I drive in the rain, and I just washed it after 6 months or so because it’s a car and I can give to craps about depreciation. Many that know me all cars are sunk cost, and toys vs financial instrument. By the way yes I love my speedster may be the last Porsche I buy new, I’m not a fan of anything post 2019. Sorry for the rant and if I misunderstood your flex comment.

Kept mine 3 years, had some nice drives in it. But it was never a car that “ passed the look back” test for me due to the odd looking back did not have the inclination to drive it for last 6 months so gave back to supplying dealership, also it didn’t sound good due to all the Filters, they had not cracked the sound back then like on the ST.
