He makes bank....but sold it simply because it was so ridiculous to keep up.

(My wife spent a week driving it and was a big fan. For some reason, she wasn't nearly as impressed with the '02 Boxster then she returned....LOL).
There was one parked a couple streets down from me, outside a house, in the driveway a mist a bunch of other cars, car cover blown off weeks if not months prior, with what looked like a thick layer of dust on it with the tires going flat. Wonder if something major, or even minor happened to it causing it to be put aside like that. Wonder if there are other 355 like that just sitting because of repair costs.
