One thing I have noticed recently is the number of 968's in PA not too far from Trenton, NJ.
Is there something in the water down there that makes the 968 popular? My 968 came from that area, we have many forum members from that area as well as RSBarn, and since I purchased mine I have been watching and have seen many others for sale in a 20-25 mile radius from my dealer.
Not that I am complaining or anything, just seems odd that there is such a saturation in one place.

I wish I was that close, I think it takes me about 2 hours going to scenic route.

Perhaps also a component/factor is that we also have a considerable amount of tracks withing a short radius (cmparatively speaking). Since 968 (like 944s) are great track cars off the box, people may keep/look for them often....

We used to live in Wayne, PA., and I would see Porsches all over. The "Main Line", the corridor between Philly and Lancaster, has got to be Porsche Central. Brandywine Porsche had a Carrera GT in their showroom. Not every dealer had one of those. I felt right at home driving my 944, then a 968. And I can definately say that the roads in that area are the best I have every driven for outright enjoyment. Loads of turns, turns and more turns. Plenty of hills to climb and more turns, turns, turns....
But now, living in East Windsor, central New Jersey, I don't see as many. Roads here are like much of Florida. Flat and straight. Zzzzzzz........ But there are 4 968's within 10 miles of me, including about 2 or 3 that I have passed but do not know the owners.
