Meet Bonnie Old Incoming

I’ve been meaning to post this but so busy all the time. Today is a nice quiet day. I sold the VW R and picked up this 981 BS. Absolutely love the car. Was originally in the market for a 996, or 997.2 Cabriolet... and after I drove many I realized how perfect the ‘14 981 BS really is. Bonnie is mint and beautifully maintained with 23,000 miles. It’s pure and visceral. Balanced with no 911 drama.

Very nice, I loved my 14 Cayman S...

Does it have the sport Chrono and performance exhaust?

PDK or manual?

After driving two 911’s (first an SC Targa, then a winged Carrera), I went for a 1st Gen Boxster. Loved it. Despite the lower HP, it had plenty going for it with better balance.

Of course the later generations continuously improved the platform.


Hope you enjoy it as much as I did mine.

Thanks again gentlemen! She’s a wonderful little machine that’s bringing a lot of joy to the everyday commute through the Presidio! And Nicholas, my son absolutely adores her.
