Thank you very much everyone!
Doing this sort of thing is the closest to traveling in a time machine I'll ever see.

It allows a surprisingly intimate link with the past.
I'm totally on board with the idea of an OK Boxster meet. We can message each other and exchange contact info for possible times and places if you like, or post a topic for discussion of the details.

Yes, I must admit that car is already feeling like part of the family. They have so much character to begin with! And it does have the full leather option with that funky green.

I actually recently bought an old book on The Ghost Towns of Texas and plan on expanding my trips there. There is potential for a lot of abandoned towns to be hiding in those vast open spaces!
