So I've had my Box for about two weeks now since it was at the shop for IMS, RMS, clutch, flywheel, exhaust mod and the list goes on and on....and it feels and drives and sounds like it's fresh out of the Porsche showroom and so I put the top down and wife and I head off to the local ice cream spot after dinner and pull in and park. And almost immediately this little boy, probably eight or nine, is in line for ice cream and he lets go of his dad's hand and walks over and his dad is laughing and the little boy asks me "excuse me sir I like your car what kind of car is this?"
So this little boy got a grand tour of a very clean 2000 Porsche Boxster and got to sit in the seat and hold the wheel and learned how to pronounce Porsche with two syllables. And then my wife vacates her seat and lets the little boy sit in the passenger side so I can fire it up and let him hear the glorious sound of a flat six engine. And he smiles and says he wants to have a car like this when he grows up.
I paid $10,000 for this car and have put another $10,000 into it to return it to its former glory. I can guarantee you that I will spend considerably more as time goes on. Anyone with any financial common sense would tell me I'm wasting my money. But when a little kid sits in the driver's seat of your Porsche and takes hold of the wheel like Moses accepting the two stone tablets, you just go ahead and try and tell me I wasted my money. It won't work. These cars are works of art, and the little kids...they know.
