A little background...I'm a car/motorcycle junkie, and have been my entire life. My first car was a '74 VW Super Beetle (still one of my favorite car of all time). My first bike was a Kawasaki H3. In the period between now and my first rides, I've had more cars/bikes than I could list, from Ducati's and Honda's to Porsche's and Corvette's, and everything in between...

As a 911/Carrera owner, I never considered a Boxster...Not sure why...Long story short, I just bought a '98 Boxster with TIP, and finally took it out for a real drive this afternoon...

I've have to say, it's an absolute blast to drive! Actually, quite a bit more enjoyable than my '78 SC, which was a Euro version with a built motor no doubt. I still haven't figured out why, but there's something about this car that really stands out. It's no speed demon, but the combination of its characteristics makes for a fun-filled package.

I certainly need to get more mileage under my belt with the car, but for the moment, I'm surprised it took me so long to consider one.
