I'm at 11,000 at the moment. I know that will increase dramatically when we finally get out to CA when I can enjoy it anytime, year round.

6500 miles on mine. It shares nice weather driving time with my past 2009 C2S and current 14 GT3. Around town it's more fun to drive than the GT3 with mid engine. manual tranny and top down.

How many have done this with their Spyder? Texas to Monterey Parade and back. 28 plus MPG at Texas highway speeds . The Spyder is truly a great vehicle and fun to drive even in this configuration

That's pretty rad. What kind of hitch set up is that?

coming up on 50K, 16 track days over the 2 and change years. Not much in the way of mods, mostly safety, this year new Girodiscs and PFC-11's, maybe lightweight battery. Best car ever...

Custom behind the license plate and bolted to the inner bumper some custom alum and some Porsche parts works great and total hidden when not used. License plate is on a custom built hinged bracket. If you need more info pm me and I will provide more details

I am close to 67,000 miles on my Boxster Spyder! Every mile has been pure joy. The Spyder does it all -- daily commute, date night with the wife and occasional track duty. Love it.

Its great to see people driving and enjoying there cars Dr. Porsche meant for them to be driven. People that have not had a 987 Spyder do not truly appreciate what a great and actually practical car it is that will always bring a smile.

Love the color; and, the towing setup. But, why is the top up (with sunshine and blue sky)?? :-)
