Welcome and congrats!

I don't think 'drive it like you stole it' is good advice for a young man. Jake's advice of take it easy for 6 mo is much better. Boxsters can get away from you very quickly (wet or frosty roads, etc), so work you way up to the edge very slowly. Prove that you're worthy of this great machine by respecting it while you get to know it. Sorry to sound like a grumpy old adult, but you'll be thankful somewhere down the line if you follow Jake's advice. (They say experience is when you run out of dumb things to do.)

And on a lighter note... How do you get the reflection to appear as a Volvo? Cloaking device?
