Spot on, Brad.
I first discovered the Boxster concept car in a magazine article in 1992, which suggested the possibility of Porsche manufacturing it. Target price was $29,995, I believe, but I knew it would come in substantially higher than that. Might as well have been $1,000,00.00, as there was
NO way I could come up with that considering our situation and the responsibilities we had at the time.
Fast forward 20 years, and the very popular Boxster (I think over 243,00 units have been sold) is now available at a very reasonable price. And many of the examples for sale are in very good to pristine shape.
So yes, we middle-aged boomers
are enjoying the heck out of these fine automobiles that at one time seemed completely out of reach.
