Default Just drove two Spyders

I just drove the two we got in last night. Pretty fun car, the top is a PITA, a lot harder to use than my old 1994 911 Speedster. We got a black one and a white one last night.

Would love to see some pics of the white one! That's what I ordered.
Is the steering wheels solid Black or Black with Silver still?

Trader, do they definitely have Homelink? A photo of a US spec window sticker on another site indicated that they do, but I've seen incorrect Monroneys on early production cars before.

Do either of your cars have the 'additional interior package'? If so, does it include the door panel insert in Alcantara as the photo indicates on Porsche's website, or just the armrest/handle as described on the website?

And I see that there is a Boxster/Cayman lease special going on...any chance the Spyder is included?

Thanks in advance...

Default Speedster vs. Spyder

Howard, Great looking car! But I like your old Speedster. It's low cut windshield made the car very popular.

Hey Trader, I think we met when I stopped in to look at the white spyder when it was being unwrapped and before you had a chance to drive it. Anyway, thanks for letting me see the GT3 RS. Its a shame I could not try the sport bucket seats.
You were not kidding when you said you were a an AIR COOLED guy judging by your collection. Anyway, it was a pleasure to meet you.
