Default New Black Spyder is home in RI!

Flew into Cleveland last Sunday night to pick up a new black Spyder !! I purchased it from the good folks at the Cascade auto group ... The first leg of the trip kicked off Monday and took 5hours/ 320 miles to get to the Glen.. I was able to take the car on the track to do a" track walk" and hook up with some friends! 425 miles later,Tuesday evening I was back home in RI .. glad I decided to pick it up and drive it home!
options: AC, radio, Xenons ,sport exhaust, self dim mirrors, sport buckets

Congrads, you will be very happy with your new purchase. I hope you like cleaning your car, black is stunnning when clean but it doesn't stay that way very long.

Enjoy,

Congrats on the new Boxster. You will have to bring it for cars and coffee at some point. I saw another black spyder in RI a few weeks ago and it looked great. I'm sure you will have lots of fun with it.

Best regards,
Dino

Beautiful Spyder, congrats!

Don't forget to close the front trunk before you drive away next time. Don't want to ruin that nice aluminum lid.

I normally hate black cars, but the spyder looks awesome no mater which color it is! Black looks great with all the silver accents... Congrats!!!
I'm still waiting to get mine back from repairs

Nice, congrats. I love black, but hate the upkeep. Have you changed out those amber side lenses yet for the clear ones? That was the first mod I did. In fact the dealer would not let the car leave until it was done

Good Luck with the car,

Changing out the side lenses are on the hit list!

I know in RI they require a front plate, although some people get by without it. If you decide to put one on, be sure to choose a plate holder that uses the tow hook opening so you don't have to drill the front bumper. I have one from moweraxle and I really like it a lot! I have no affiliation with them. Granted, these cars look best without any plate in front. However, if you have to use a plate to avoid tickets etc., it sure beats drilling holes in the bumper of these cars.

Congrats again on the Spyder and I hope to catch up with you in the RI or MA area at a future event.

Best regards,
Dino

Congrats on the Spyder! Beautiful part of the country up there, especially this time of year.

I wish you the best of luck on those Rhode Island roads. I'm not a big fan of RIDOT's handy work, specifically on and around Aquidneck Island.

+1 on the Moweraxle front plate holder.
