Apologies...

...I'm sorry.

I lost it. Please forgive my post. Your post about shipping my car to Raby being a waste of money just struck me the wrong way. I have no problem with your transmission choice.

My wife and i just got back from a 3,700 mile round trip to colorado in our car.

Because I shipped my car to Flat 6 Innovations, we were able to enjoy driving this 2004 Boxster with no worries about breaking down. Again, I chose to buy a 2004 on purpose. I wanted the first generation car. I wanted the "purer" vehicle with an actual oil dipstick and a spare tire. i prefer the styling of the original car. The later cars were built to conform to stricter crash and EPA standards and lost a little something in my opinion.

So, if you feel that that was a waste of money, fine. For ME, it was an investment in the car that I wanted to own forever.

I'm glad I did. We had so much fun in this car. We have driven her to Missouri, South Carolina, and Colorado and back in the last eight months. No drama. Just joy.
