Beautiful combo! I'm a huge fan of the 993 C2S, especially Arena Red. Would love to get your impressions of it and the Spyder (comparison) once you have some miles under your belt.

Almost went with a 987 boxster S, but am very happy I decided to go with the Spyder. They are very different cars. I thought about getting another 993, maybe a cab, but thought it would be kind of boring having two of the same. I'm just very fortunate to be able to put two in the garage. As soon as I get the garage done, the motor in the 993 is coming out for a rebuild. It's got 148 K on it.

Congrats on the purchase of your Spyder. I bought mine last Memorial Day and have never regretted that decision. It is an awesome looking car with great handling capabilities. It draws a crowd every where I go. She is definitely a keeper. This is what mine looks like.

DawgFan,

Great color combo!!! That was my first choice, but who knows when one like would come along. It would also have to be equipped with three pedals.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Black exterior with red leather interior has alway been my favorite color combination. Consider myself lucky to have found it in a Spyder.

Yes it will be and it was for me when I traded it in several weeks ago so to make the sun come out I'm buying it back. My wife agrees we don't need two Cayennes so the 2011 S goes and the Aqua Blue Spyder is back to share the garage with the Gt3 and the diesel Cayenne. Mother nature was on my side as the weather has been rotten the last several weeks and thus no one picked the Spyder up so she will be home tomorrow with several more years of warranty. My dealer knew I would be back.... friend pressure sometimes is a good thing.

Good choice!

So it seems that this is a normal trend, trading or selling the Spyder to buy something else and then buying it back.
