Implied in your post is that you consider the Box to be "your baby". If this wasn't the joint understanding going in, I think you're being over the top. I agree with BuffBox, better to have someone drive it, then no one, especially with a shortened convertible season in your neck of the woods.
Clearly the only solution is to obtain a 987 S, which would be "yours" and the current Box can become hers !
