Finally Saw a 997 Speedster Today

It was True Blue. I tried like crazy not to like this car. Looked at the web pics and said "no big deal". "$200k price way too much". "Color looks like a Robin's Egg?

But...... up close and personal the car is stunning. Engine is a bit quiet but not too bad. Styling is superb. The blue is much richer than in pictures. Love the look with the top down. One of the nicest rear views on any Porsche. The car won me over. I'm hooked.

There was a white one behind me the other day. Its not on my short list, but it did look stunning winding on the roads behind me.

Don't know if it's astable candidate yet. I'm a bit distracted trying to get PTS for the 4.0. Porsche is a pin in the but these days.

I need to see one in person, because I've yet to see the appeal of the Speedster.

BB I agree 100% the car is fantastic in the blue. A nice set of pipes on it and it'd be a great cruiser.
