Tires are fine...just muddy that day because of local tractor traffic. Car has been 100% dealer-maintained, garage-kept, and lives under a car cover; we did, however, have the Porsche dealer put a top-notch clear nose cover on it. As my wife and I have said before, half the fun of this car will be watching our three sons fight over it when we're too old to drive it ourselves.

Researching the car, we know that it sat in a warehouse at Zuffenhausen for at least a year (Apr/May '05 through Apr/May '06), and although all the paperwork is stamped as "US Spec", the analog speedometer is still in KM/h, and it has the eurobumpers, i.e., no ugly US bumper warts. Other than that, Larry mentioned that he came to the same conclusion: this was the "Special Edition" show car that was toured around Europe and the US in 2004. He checked with the Porsche sales reps, who could really neither confirm nor deny this theory: anyone got a "car show pic" clear enough to read the VIN number?

Cheers!
