I agree its very easy to do a long trip in a drop top. Very hard in a tight sports coupe. I'm thinking that a 911 Cab would be even better.

p.s.
You think the Boxster is more fun than 87 911? That's interesting I have the opposite feeling. I find the Boxster to be sooooo predictable and over refined/responsive that's its kind of dull in some respects. A loud, raspy, tail busy, air cooled 911 is the closest thing to a go kart since...well uh my Miata?

p.s.
I've tried that lock de-icing liquid sold at pepboys for squeaks during winter. Worked great on this hartop rattle in my old car that was driving me nuts.
