Disadvantage of getting older, the practical / responsible side of you starts kicking in.
I'm looking for the thrill of owning / driving like I had with my 71 911T, will I get that from the Boxster?

Have you not read of "permagrin" yet?  I have driven a few boxsters on the street and have rode in one that was driven badly when the owner was auto-Xing it for a day and that was a blast. I have to say that you will love it. I don't know if it will touch the flickability that you had with a 71 911 (has to be much lighter) but I do not know anyone who has driven a boxster for any amount of time and not loved it.
