Folks,
Thanks to all who provided automotive advice last fall.
On Friday, I purchased a used 2003 Porsche Boxster with about 18,900 miles on it. Saturday, I had it inspected by a local garage specializing in Porsche repair and maintenance. It's owned by a guy who's worked on Porsches for 40+ years, who pronounced, after inspection, "you've got a very nice Boxster there" (insert huge SIGH OF RELIEF here. . . .).
I've owned nothing but mini-vans and Hondas in the past (junkers when I was really younger and poorer), and I have a lot to learn about this automobile. It has unimaginable performance in all respects (acceleration, top end, handing, braking, etc.) that I need to understand better before I could possibly offer a true perspective on it.
But one thing is completely clear to me, having put 80 miles on it.
IT IS AN ABSOLUTELY COMPLETE BLAST TO DRIVE!!!!
