This beast of a machine has seen some action, with Doug proudly announcing his ownership milestone of two years. But that's not all - a recent recall had this Porsche purring into the dealership for a check-up. The recall, initially a minor suspension concern, escalated into a full-blown affair, but fear not, the issue was swiftly sorted out. Doug recounts his dealership experience, where additional maintenance tasks like replacing ignition coils and fixing a pesky air conditioning leak were tackled.
Despite the hefty price tag of $13,818 for the recall and services, Doug's love for the Carrera GT remains unwavering. This driving enthusiast didn't stop at just maintenance - oh no. He delved into upgrades, decking out the GT with a new suspension system, an axle lift, heated seats, Bluetooth, and even an electric spoiler conversion.

With the car now finely tuned and upgraded to his liking, he hopes for a trouble-free journey in the coming years.
