Default 70 Year Old Lady Uses Porsche 918 Spyder as a Daily Driver

Wish she was my granny.



From the article:
Her story showed up on Reddit, with multiple users claiming they've seen her driving her Porsche 918 Spyder in Marco Island. While so far we have no picture of her inside the vehicle, we do get to see her hypercar. In fact, one of the users was so determined to show us the metallic beast that he uploaded... a smartphone pic of his photo camera's screen.

6 pictures and full article

It's the little old lady from Marco Island .... go granny go granny go granny go

Seriously, with license plates reading "IT BITES", something about this story isn't adding up for me.

Crazier things have happened. One of the supercars I own was bought new by an 82 year old man. He drove it around until he died at 93, yes 93 and left it to an animal shelter because he had no immediate family....... Those who saw him in the late 80's were baffled a senior citizen climbed out of that spaceship. Theres even a story of him pulling up to a car show, with a bottle of Dom on ice in the passenger seat. I LOVE it when the oldies live their twilight years in style and speed. Congrats Granny, congrats to you.

That was me uploading the pic of the camera screen and the subsequent photos...I just bought a new camera before going on vacation and had left the transfer cable at home. Definitely an old woman driving.

Don't under-estimate this woman, I know her, outside of the 918, she also has a CGT AND a GT3RS on order, among other cars.

She doesn't keep the car in Florida even though it has Florida plates, she ships it there whenever she stays there as she loved driving the 918, her favourite right now.

Those pics might be of Naples, but not Marco. I've never seen that car on Marco.
