It really is a great car and in many ways I am really happy with the basic un-modified tossable car that I have. In the greatest Porsche design tradition, it's incredible in its simplicity. It's why I always loved my first Porsche, a 1974 914.

My wife, with perfect timing and in a deadpan voice informed me the only reason I'm happy with my basic Boxster is because I can't afford the faster one.

Good moment gone.
Your wife sounds like my wife. Man do I love my wife. She also would let me spend alot of time on the weekend cleaning my car. More time than most husbands spend
on their mode of transport. But then she would also lovenly burst my happiness bubble with a comment like the one above.
