This Friday was the day I picked up my 2001 Boxster from NC. Tonight was the first time I took my wife out for a ride and dinner after church. When we came out of the restaurant, I was surprised to see another Boxster sitting next to mine. It was a very nice looking Boxster S.
I was kind of excited to get the picture to share with my brother. He has a 76 912E with a 3.6 SC Motor. It is stunning.
The owner came out and I told him that it was a great looking car. I explained I had just bought mine and we were out on our maiden voyage.
I kind of expected him to say:
You will enjoy the car.
Looks like a nice car.
We have a great time with these cars.
If you have any questions ....
Instead he asked what year it was. A very understandable question.
Which lead into these statements.
You sure that is the year?
Those are not the correct wheels.
(I am pretty sure they are the original base wheels.)
His wheels were the best ever put on a Boxster.
You have a glass rear window.
(The top was updated with glass.)
The black Boxster script is wrong. It might be a 99.
(The images I pulled up showed black script on 2001 Base Models.)
He told me that he has had several 2001 so he knows his Boxsters.
I suggested that he might be surprised. What a kill joy.
On the ride home my wife suggested that he was lacking in basic social skills.
This was a reflection of him alone.
PS I have gotten a great deal of information from this site.
