Do you have records to ballpark the number of oil changes in those 61K miles?

Also, are you on the most recent coolant cap? (mine is blue, does not have a visible part number)

The reason you don't see this custom Porsche Zanzibar Red often is (I heard) because it is a $7,000 extra on the price of the car. So I am guessing that your car is worth much more than other standard colors on the market ;)

Beautiful car. I'd hire a Professional Photograph and get it photographed in the city night lights. Total Gem!

^ Is that picture photoshopped or is the front air pressure crazy low?

p.s.
Nine8Six, I think a pic like this shows off how well designed the 986 was for 20 year-old design.
I have never understood those who praise the 981 as "the first good looking Boxster".
The 986 wasn't designed with a mind to 16" wheels, no aero treatment or barebones interiors.
These options should have been standard from the factory but since they nickel and dime you on every option too many stripped down cars influenced public perception.

Think there is a 1.5" deep gap between the pebbles and the asphalt... where the front stands anyway.

PS your note. You are so right. Timeless design, but the combination of this rare color with black wheels, blk int, the clean shine, ALL, is almost impossible to describe in words. Again, speechless

(and very very very jealous!!! lol)
