I was looking at a Boxter as an alternative to the Miata I have, as a way to get more power but keep the Open air enjoyment.

Frankly the IMS stories scared me and the access to the engine in general wasnt ideal for someone who wants to do as much of the work themselves as they can.
( I know its accesble and possible to work on, i've read several of the posts about several DIY jobs )

So a nearly new Boss 302 is in the garage, ( I gave up on the Roof or lack thereof ) I picked it up for the same reason I had a MINI before the Miata, for the money a car with 6,000 Miles and that power will be hard to beat... although it is by NO means a small car at barely an inch smaller that my wifes Fusion

Well see how it goes, maybe there will be a 911 in my Future.
