I know exactly how you feel. Up till now all my cars have been so called 'practical' / slow cars. I've never had such a high performance auto. Therefore it takes time to develop that confidence to go out and really open her up. I'm still at the stage of wanting to really push my car and worried that if I do will something bad happen to the engine. The nearest porsche mechanic is 80 miles away so if any work needs to be done on it, it would be a real hassle.

So some of you boxster veterans give us some insight in how hard these cars can be 'safely' pushed. I know it may be a fine line between pushing and having a great time AND pushing too hard and asking for trouble.
