I was looking for a sporty second car project or kit car and did a search for under $15k and found some Boxsters on the list.

The general public believes that a Porsche would be out of reach pricewise as I did so it never even occurred to me I could get one in that price range.

Once i saw the Boxsters I had to find out what they would be like so I went to a dealer and test drove a base model. When I discovered that there were S models
I decided that you can never have too much power, plus it had better brakes and a few other stronger parts.

I found a 2001 S in a private sale for just under $15K in 2012 and here I am happy as can be,
even though I've had a few of the Boxster issues, I'm still enthused.

The good DIY support is a factor too thanks to this forum.

So I fell into the idea of this dream car quite by blind luck really.

Now that I have driven it plenty, I can't imagine ever not having a Porsche to drive.

Every other car's handling pales by comparison and now I'm really disappointed that
many cars designed do not have decent handling characteristics, let alone great.
