That’s pretty neat. I affirm what that guy said about each having their own take on usage.

Though we don’t see eye to eye all the time, it’s good to see live audience/action from our own. I’d support any of it and buy you a drink at the end of the day.

Best of luck in future concourse, and one day I’m sure that will be brought over for The Pebble.

Hey Steve I can tell you were fishing to sell it so I'll give you that $160k he mentioned.

Dude quite possibly the most beautiful GT3 ever. Truth be told I don't know that you can place a price tag on a car like that. Wow.

Really glad you mentioned this. As car enthusiasts, there truly should be a place for all of us and I appreciate @nathan1 bringing that up.

I think if you're a collector and are properly storing and preserving a car, that is allowing a future enthusiast that could not buy a car at the time to be able to buy one years later that is near new. Granted, it may need a lot of servicing since things have not been moving like he mentioned and most people looking to drive a car would probably not buy one of these, but I don't see an issue with collectors preserving. Drivers are also great that load miles on. It gets cars out there, allows others to appreciate them and also raises the average mileage so that others feel that they can drive their car more. Many of my friends look at Porsche's/Ferrari's, etc and just cannot fathom why someone would buy a car and then not load miles on it. For many I think that is due to other obligations in life which I certainly can understand whether that is family or work, we've all been there. But I think for many there will always be the fear about what happens to the value if they put miles on their car and that is why I think people driving their cars and raising the average mileage is great.

I really enjoyed this video though. Even though it had a title of "How Much is my Porsche Worth", it was great hearing the owner stories behind these great cars. So much information on value out on forums right now instead of the passion behind these great cars.

It's kind of interesting ....or at least curious...that the whole under 1k miles a year thing didn't happen as often in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Of course it happened with Ferrari and Lambo, but not as much with Porsche. I think it's because there's a lot of eye-candy "jewelry" to options and builds that has steadily increased year after year. That's not a knock. And there are more rich people that can throw down that kind of jack.

I'm glad he said there's many ways to enjoy cars and that he doesn't judge. I agree with him too.

Nice to see the Aqua Blue getting some love!
Not a shabby price estimate too!!!

his comment about there not being any 60k mile ones made me chuckle. Think I’m at 58k right now so will be there soon!

We both have the center console and seats backs in Aqua. didn’t know yours had the door pulls in Aqua as well. Was that an option or done later?

Congrats on 58k miles.

The door handles were an option. Option CMC. Looks like Steve's is the only Aqua Blue GT3 (non RS, didn't check those) that has that option.
