i'm a firm believer in if you pay for it do what you want with it. but hey it's just a boxster. you guys act like it's a carrera gt. i see a car as a piece of metal. totally dispensable. i don't worship cars. sure it's nice but if you can pay for it in this life then it's not worth getting your panties in a wad. i'm glad i have the option to buy a new car if my current one is broken. my wife is pretty laid back about cars all she cares about is if i'm happy with it or not. and i'm happy driving like i stole it. i go through a set of wheel bearings every year. i go through a set of tires every year. if it breaks pay the dealer to fix it. then drive some more. you can drive like a granpa or treat your porsche like a caddy. but i treat my porsche like a porsche.
