Great write up, thanks for sharing! When I bought my 986 I also considered the Z3 but never got around to driving one. This forum sold me on the 986 so I have always wondered what I may have missed. I should say I have zero regrets with my 2001 S. Two years later and I am still thrilled to drive it! Yesterday I was at Home Depot(in my Tundra) and saw a Z3 M drive by, I smiled since I had just read your other thread on saying goodbye. Enjoy the new ride!

There are lots of other cars that I would love to own, but with limited resources, and garage spaces, I would have to give up my Boxster and I am just unable to do that
