Hey big spenders... (BAT Auction)

Pretty sure that I couldn't afford the luggage set that goes with the car...

Ohhh...a luggage set! Like you're going to park it in the lot of a Holiday Express, take the bags out, and go to your room.

A Carrera GT’s luggage capacity is pretty well limited to what your passenger is willing to hold in their lap.

We had a customer that picked his Carrera GT up and he and his daughter drove it back to CA (from VA). But I think he was staying at various homes that he owned across the country for the trip back (no Holiday Inns). Made it without any problems. We delivered 2 of them and I did the PDIs…only Porsche model that made me nervous to road test. Cool but not a very practical car.

16 years and 800 miles. How sad.

If I buy the CGT, I think I might go ahead and get the Alfa, too.

That's right down the road from me if any Pelican bidders want me to take it for a test drive.
