PorscheCooled Owner Stories #65 - Blair 2016 981 GT4

In today’s PorscheCooled Podcast Michael presents episode 65 of owner stories with Blair from Salt Lake City in the U.S. Blair doesn’t quite remember exactly when he first started noticing or thinking about Porsche. Nonetheless, he does have two distinct memories. The first at 19 when he moved to Munich, he recalls the sound of the iconic Porsche Flat Six in the streets of the city’s historic surroundings. The second is being in a car on the autobahn when an air-cooled 911and its distinctive whale tail went screaming past. Blair vividly remembers the sight and the sound of that car being ‘one of the coolest things he has ever seen.’

An internship working for BMW in Munich crystallised his love for German cars including Porsche. Fast forward a few years and Blair decides the time was right to own the car he always wanted – the E46 BMW M3. After his first M3 Blair was tempted by 911s but decided that he wanted another M3. His second E46 M3 followed. As good as the M3 was it was a low mileage collectible car. Blair wanted a car he could drive and enjoy more. A car he wasn’t scared to put miles on.

After a friend let him drive his 718 Cayman S, Blair was blown away. So, a 2014 981 Cayman S became Blair’s first Porsche. A car he really enjoyed but wanted more. Blair’s second Porsche was a white 2016 GT4, a car he sold after six weeks. His next Porsche, a 981 GT4 in sapphire blue followed. Blair said if you are going to spend that type of money, you should really get the one you want.
