My family needed something bigger so I traded my 02 Mustang GT for an Xterra. After a few years I started feeling the itch to get a sporty car again. Looking at 911's they were outside of my budget then. Was never interested in the Boxster - "Poor man's Porsche" etc. I started looking anyways and guess what, a Boxster S was affordable. I started the research and the car was more than I perceived. Most ranked the car's performance as exceptional for it value. Of course I also read that at any time, the car could go up in a blazing mushroom cloud. I know it would have to be DIY for maintenance, I was OK with that.
So here I am, 4-1/2 years into it and always look forward to driving it.
